I purchased my watch here and had it checked out at Tourneau in addition to taking links out. 100% authentic + boxes and papers and warranty card (unstamped though because it's a gray market dealer).
My girlfriend has this watch...gorgeous with the black face. She also got a black band (I think it came with an extra band) for a dressier look. AS posted same one with a white face...I also think it comes with a silver face.
I know she didn't pay this much, if interested, check around.
The Omega Constellation for simple reasons:
1) Omega is a reputable watch company with rich history in watchmaking.
2) The Constellation series is a long-selling classic collection.
3) A Michele watch has low resale value if you decide to upgrade your watch someday
I agree, the two tone is so classic. If you're going to invest, why not get something that you will enjoy wearing for years to come without looking outdated or trendy?
