First time buy

Dr.Sascha

The advice here is all excellent. In particular, the private watch sales forum is, imho, simply the _best_ avenue towards acquiring reputable, high-quality vintage Omegas at extremely fair (perhaps even over-generous) prices. Many of the watches sold there would command significantly higher prices on ebay, chronowatch, etc., but members want to keep them within the community, so they go this route instead.

That having been said, I don't see any Cosmics for sale right now. But there is a very nice pre-cosmic SM in a forum I don't ordinarily recommend, Gumtree. I considered this one myself, however, and corresponded with the seller, and everything looks on the level (though I would try and get them to come down £50-75 on the price). It is not, as advertised, a 565, but rather a 752, I am all but certain (though haven't seen the inside). https://www.gumtree.com/p/mens-watches/omega-sea-master-vintage-watch-£675/1361003242

Unfortunately not still too green and hesitant for my first buy, still reading lots and looking more than anything now!
