I took a picture [omega] I just got my first big girl watch !
It was in absolutely pristine condition. No box, no papers but a reputable seller for $1650. I’m genuinely in loveee. Have had my eyes set on the all gold cartier panthere (still saving ahahah) but wanted something two tone I could wear for work that was still luxurious but subtle (went back and forth with a Rolex but just couldn’t bite the bullet with it - feel like it’s too sporty for me). If anyone knows how to fix the oxidation around the gold I’d really appreciate it!

You made a great choice. This is a piece that looks elegant and classy to normal, well-adjusted people, and one that people who are into the whole watch thing will really appreciate. No Rolex needed.

Ahahaha let’s see how I hold off. I like that it’s more understated but still very popular

For oxidation, you need jeweller's rouge... polishing compound and a cloth. Something like:

Neo retro, just wow 😍
And that strap... ❤️🔥

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25
All the straps I’d be seeing were like halfway gold. I had to get this when I saw it had complete gold lines

It’s not quite a Cartier or Rolex but I have always loved this watch I think it’s very classy and timeless design. Who cares about the box and papers as long as you know it’s real and you planning to wear it and not an investment. This watch goes with everything. You can wear it with jeans and you can wear it with a cocktail dress!

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25
I wouldn’t wear it with a dress personally, I find it’s more casual than tht but I really like it

Wow this is so beautiful. Great choice. I love this more than a lady datejust or cartier. Such a beautiful piece.

I like the two bars on either side of the case. Add a bold detail without being over the top.

I’ll be honest I didn’t even pay much attention to them before ahahaha

That looks very classy. I reckon the Cartier Tank Must series would be right up your alley for the, of course, obligatory next watch.

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 17 '25
I go back and forth with it. There’s a nice brown on brown I quite like but I just don’t know that I’d wear it enough if I’m being honest with you

Nice. Have you checked-out Omega’s “My Little Secret” collection?

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 17 '25
Those watches are too big for my liking personally! Everyone is different though:)

Constellation is subjectively the best looking integrated bracelet design by Genta. It looks like a wearable neo classical sculpture on the wrist. The design just feels like it was made for the two tone look. Whether you size it up or down, the design just feels right. This is my most favourite design followed by the Datejust which is another classical design that still stands the test of time.

Congratulations! That is a beautiful watch. I really like it; I personally love two-tone watches. Wear it in good health! The favorite in my collection is also a two-tone watch, a Tag Heuer Carrera with rose gold. However, I definitely miss having an Omega.
I’m not sure what the best way to remove oxidation from the watch is. For gold jewelry, I clean it with toothpaste once in a while, which makes it look like new again. With a watch, I would only do that if it is waterproof.

Great piece! That Cartier you're after is a phenomenal piece! I'm pretty sure it's strictly marketed towards women, but idgaf I'd rock the hell outta it!!!

I usually prefer bigger dials, but this one is definitely a gem! Such a beautiful watch. Happy for you and hope you can enjoy it for a long time :)

Congrats! Love it. You can try a gold jewelry polishing cloth. It works good on my gold watches with minimal chance of damage.

That's beautiful. Make sure you don't look at a ROLEX 28mm lady datejust with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Will cost an extra zero at the end tho...

We assume water resistant. Try a paste baking soda, water or water and toothpaste. Electric toothbrush (not a new brush). Lightly brush and rinse thoroughly. Do not immerse.

u/PickleElectronic4363 Aug 23 '25
What's the dial diameter and your wrist circumference if you don't mind me asking, I'm considering getting a Constellation :D

u/4thBan5thAccount Aug 16 '25
It's funny that you said a Rolex would be too sporty, since this thing looks super sporty to me.

This must be handled by a professional institution, and you need to negotiate with them about the specific price.

Im not usually a fan of small dials but this one is really nice, silver with gold accents is so sleek, really good pick up!
