Hi all,
I'm very new to the world of watch collecting and graduating from university next month. To mark this milestone, I'd like to buy my first watch. I have found a Vintage Omega Constellation (Ref. 167.021 Cal. 721). I found the watch on eBay via a seller from Japan with a 97.6% positive feedback rate. From my research, the watch is a very good price and I am very close to pulling the trigger. However I wanted to ask on here if the watch is genuine, the seller has not include pictures of the inside, I have messaged and ask for this and am waiting for those. Is that a red flag that the seller has not included them? I have brought cameras from Japan via eBay before so I do trust sellers from there. Unlike cameras, watches aren't my field of expertise. All of you on here are much wiser than me when it comes to watches, therefore I'd really appreciate any advice/help in verifying the authenticity of this model. Have any of you got experience with buying watches off eBay/from Japan? Many thanks - Maximilian
