Re: Constellation Questions

In Response To: Constellation Questions ()

: However, I noticed the Omega website lists
: different sizes for the men's quartz,
: automatic, and perpetual calendar models.

OMEGA makes multiple sizes of many of their watches. Though 33.5 mm seems like a larger ladies model. Also realize that OMEGA measures these across the BACK of the watch (for standardization), but the front of the watch may be or appear bigger than the stated size.

: Also, what's the better value: steel, half bar,
: or full bar (i.e cost, depreciation, quartz,
: auto, perpetual calendar, etc)?

Steel models are a better value. The premium on gold is outrageous on ALL luxury watches and is something that you never get back in resale value.

As far as movements, there is not a dramatic difference -- so go for whichever you prefer.
