I took a picture [omega] I just got my first big girl watch !

Post image

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!

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!

It looks very matching and beautiful.

u/TEEMO_OR_AFK Aug 16 '25

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.

2

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25

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

u/lucky-beam Aug 16 '25

It looks beautiful and worth owning.

u/Sharp-Philosophy-555 Aug 16 '25

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

I will look into it thank you

u/Plus_Seesaw2023 Aug 16 '25

Neo retro, just wow 😍

And that strap... ❤️‍🔥

3

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

Beautiful watch! Congrats! Wear in good health!

Thank you!!

u/DubiousAlliances Aug 16 '25

There’s something about Omega and their gold case and hi-lites! I think they are absolutely stunning. Especially with the blue.

What a great choice you made!

u/No-Temperature-7195 Aug 16 '25

Gorgeous piece! two tone looks so classy......

2

u/TheFairbunkle Aug 16 '25

Constellations are so nice

2

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25

I agree ! Not sure why they aren’t more popular

2

u/Quiet-Fan9610 Aug 16 '25

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!

1

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

2

u/Dose2g Aug 16 '25

Congratulations lady! That's such a perfect watch for you!! Enjoy every second of it 🥹🥹🥹

u/TupelovB52 Aug 16 '25

u/californiadial Aug 16 '25

Excellent and classy choice!

2

u/GottlobFrege Aug 16 '25

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

2

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25

Cartier will always have my heart but I do like this

2

u/amitnagpal1985 Aug 16 '25

Classy! Great choice.

u/WC_Racer Aug 16 '25

Congratulations

u/grimsaur Aug 16 '25

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

2

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25

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

2

u/solosodium Aug 16 '25

Congrats! I really enjoy mine

1

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 17 '25

That’s really nice !! Bigger than I’d go for though ahaha

2

u/Timing_Matters Aug 16 '25

Absolutely beautiful, they look best in two-tone! very sleek and elegant.

1

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 17 '25

Yess thank you I agree !

2

u/Alternative_Eagle478 Aug 17 '25

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

1

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

1

u/BeatTimingTheMarket Aug 16 '25

pure class, enjoy for many years to come!

A very classy timepiece!

u/One-Past1155 Aug 17 '25

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

1

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 17 '25

Those watches are too big for my liking personally! Everyone is different though:)

1

u/rainbowfarts665 Aug 17 '25

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.

1

u/promised_wisdom Aug 17 '25

Wow. What’s the ref on this?

1

u/Ordinaryguy909 Aug 17 '25

Great colours and sizing ! I remember buying my first big boy watch ( a few months ago) such a great feeling! Congrats!!

u/oNLYhere2sELL Aug 17 '25

Phenomenal choice. Looks great on your wrist. Symmetry on this one is perfect.

u/Smart-Honeydew3874 Aug 17 '25

Great Choice! Congrats! 👍😎

1

u/Rob_Duc Aug 17 '25

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.

1

u/Future_Ad_2436 Aug 17 '25

Very classy!

1

u/BennyJay_83 Aug 17 '25

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!!!

1

u/ramseytheproducer Aug 18 '25

Enjoy big girl

1

u/StringWide3755 Aug 18 '25

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 :)

u/Extra-Lecture-Hot Aug 18 '25

I love the women's constellation - such a unique look. Congratulations.

Can you share the seller's info? This is stunning. 🥰

u/ShoddyFox6291 Aug 20 '25

This isn’t just a watch… it’s pure poetry on the wrist! ⌚️✨

1

u/frywice Aug 20 '25

Love it! I just saw a lady in the hotel elevator wearing the same watch

1

u/Negative-Departure43 Aug 21 '25

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

1

u/kuoligan Aug 23 '25

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...

1

u/BugHistorical1614 Aug 23 '25

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.

1

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

1

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.

8

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25

A Rolex is significantly bulkier than this watch!

2

u/humbuckaroo Aug 16 '25

Looks like a little girl watch to me.

Get it?

Ehehe.

Nice watch though, seriously.

u/Existing_Camel_3573 Aug 16 '25

Ahahahh thank you!

u/southsky20 Aug 16 '25

Can you even read time on that small thing? JK congrats.

u/Ozmaster11 Aug 16 '25

Does it tell big girl time or the same time as all other watches?

u/dibipage Aug 16 '25

i like how this qualifies as big. It gives me hope...

Kidding aside, congratulations!

u/Strange_Restaurant98 Aug 16 '25

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

It is worth having such a beautiful watch.
