i think price is okay if its not a redial, but its a bit difficult to see since the the quality of the pictures could be better

There must be some difficulty using the site, because a lot of people do that.

Buy a different watch.

If you're going to fork out $400 on a watch - perhaps mechanical is the way to go? I bought a mechanical Cosmic 2000 here for that price - without a bracelet, but still...

You just need patience and a bit of luck, and keep an eye on this thread and you'll land something lasting and worthwhile. It needn't be an Omega either. Best of luck.

Buy a mechanical for that price..... or maybe a touch more.


Case has been polished a bit too much also.

Guys thank you so much for the useful insight, much appreciated and at this point will keep the search on (or offer him $100 less and see what happens) 😀
Thank you

Save your money and retract your offer. I don't think the watch is worth half what he's asking.

NOT a Cosmic, just a horribly refinished dial.

What he said. That dial is just plain scary.

I’m like the furthest thing from an expert you can get but yeah even with the blurry photos you can see that redial. If you look around a bit you can do much better, good luck.
