Seller is old gentleman so he's not able to open the caseback, but should be 14381, right?
Probably, yes. Caseback photo would help. Dibs if you bought it..

Arrived a few days ago and straight off for service.

It has the wrong hands, wrong bracelet and a knackered crystal but the dial and case are good, along with original crown.

Auction pics as I forgot to take some before sending it off.

Wow, every time I see a watch like this, I wonder if it was in the possession of an ape some time in the past. Good luck with the restoration and please do share the result! 馃榾

It always amazes me how little it takes to make a sad unloved ( abused ) watch into a presentable usable and functional watch.

This 166.009 arrived and it looks pretty nice and honest overall. Seems less common than the 166.010, and I like the chamfered lugs. Some minor spotting on the lacquer, but looks very good on the wrist. The really good news is that the listing said that it would fit a 15.5 cm wrist, but I counted the links and that didn't sound right to me. Actually the bracelet (1502 w/ #11 end-links) is a bit more than 15.5 cm alone, so I'm wearing it on the second-to-smallest setting. 馃榾

Just bought this tonight, seller pics

Titoni Cosmo Queen.

The intention now is to find the same Titoni Cosmo King as they were made in a matched pair.

Also bought a Casio G shock to keep our 11 year old happy

2849. Greatful for assessments and current value, and compliments or insults.
I鈥檇 suggest you open your own thread on the topic in the Vintage Omega sub-forum so we don鈥檛 clutter this thread. Happy to provide insight 馃榾
