    I am having trouble putting a value on this watch.

    Prices are all over the place. So I will listen to your offer if you are in the market for a 70
    Omega Constellation Chronometer in MINT condition. If there is no interest here in the next hour or so, it's off to ebay for a DOLLAR with no reserve. We will let the Ebay community set the price.

    Original bracelet that is full length! Will fit an 8"+ wrist. Fits me loose, and vintage bracelets never fit me

    Crystal is Perfect
    Case is MINT
    Bracelet is MINT
    Case numbers are:
    168.047
    368.847
    Movement Serial number is 31249872
    Movement Calibre 1001
    20 jewels

    I found it and placed a bid. You're right, prices are all over the place on these things.

    BTW - What are the case dimensions?

    It's 30 wide by 40 tall. It's big for a vintage.
    Here is a pic next to the Ltd Edition which is the same case diameter as the Laco you had.

    Ok,
    I placed a bid, but wondered what you were thinking about the value of this piece?
    Let me now what you want and we may be able to close sooner.
    Thanks!!

    I am not sure Scotty,

    I have been watching them for about 2 months.
    The cheapest crappy one was a parts watch and sold for $100 and there was one similar in condition to mine that was advertised for $799 or so but it didn't show as sold and now has disappeared.

    Everything else on ebay is not in the same condition as mine.
    The black dial one is a refinish, the Silver dial one is not as clean with missing links. Getting links for these is nearly impossible.

    So, instead of driving myself nuts evaluating it to a point of over-evaluation, one dollar with no reserve sounded good :) He who wants it the most will get it. I am ok with whatever price it sells for.

    I will voutch for all of these comments. Received mine recently, have worn it for the last couple of days.

    The interesting thing is that it is a 40 mm diameter watch, same as a submariner rolex, so it does not look like a clown watch on regular size wrists. But, it LOOKS much bigger because the watch face covers almost the entire width since there is no wheel bezel (or whatever it is called, the thingy that rotates on the outside of the submariner) and therefore the watch hands take up the entire space and the larger numbers add to this illusion.

    The only draw back to me is that the dual time clock at 6 o'clock is a bit too small and gets obscured by the large watch hands. So if you are traveling and trying to figure out at a glance what time it is at home, it's a bit of a pain.

    My last observation is that it's a pretty light watch, so if you like 'em heavy you'll have to get used to the light weight. I'm thinking about getting a metal band to add some weight to it.

    A unique watch for not a lot of money, german made. As they say in England, "Great value for money".

    With many much more expensive timepieces, I've been wearing mine for a few days as well and loving it. All my watches are multiple time zone pieces, with the exception of my Submariner. The Junkers is light, easy to read, easier to adjust! Just wish it were not a quartz movement, as I'm a total mechanical snob. That said, it is FANTASTIC bang for buck, and Chris is TERRIFIC to deal with. Hope we don't run into each other wearing it Alberto!! LoL :) :)
