There's an Omega Constellation on Ebay right now that appears to be in very nice shape, but although it says it's 100% authentic and original, it says it has a 562 movement in it.  Unless what I've read in several independent sources is wrong, this is not a chronometer-certified movement and was not used in Constellations.  It was used in Devilles and Seamasters.  The seller allowed me to retract my bid after I realized this, but he did insist that this movement was used in Constellations. 

So... does anybody in here have a definitive answer about this?

Everything I am seeing is showing the 562 with a Constellation is a fake. I even found this ebay post.
