    Ok I'm back again. Second thread trying to buy my first luxury watch. Have my heart set on seamaster cosmic. What do u guys think about this one? I'm liking the look. Also it's actually driving distance about 1 hour or so away from an online store. What do u think is a decent price to pay? Does it look legit? There no pics of the movement though. Thanks for your help again. This forum is the best.

    All three hands are too short, they are not original.

    Thank you guys for the short quick answers. I thought i was looking at a decent piece. Glad i have asked. On a side note comparing this piece to those ones on eBay from a South Korean seller who has alot of watches and for sure they have a redone dial , what are your guys thoughts ? Are they a run away quick like this one? Here's some screenshots of an eBay auction

    As others said above you have to be patient and put in research. It seems like you are chomping at the bits to get your hands on a Cosmic. The right watch will come along if you know what to look for. As I said in your last thread stay away from eBay and these types of sellers. Cosmics pop up all the time on the private listings. These are just some examples of what could show up:

    Bottom line is take your time or you could end up with something that you'll regret.

    I think Omega called that dial color "Tidy Bowl Blue".
