If you like it, then by all means buy it. They weren't the best of the best in that time period, but they weren't junk, either. You won't be seriously disappointed. Price isn't awful, it's actually in pretty good condition.

Not the most sought-after ref / case design, but if it runs ok and you’re into it I don’t see why this shouldn’t be a nice buy. Also quite a size for a dressy vintage Omega, these do have significant wrist presence.

I found a Cosmic

Consider buying this one

https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-seamaster-cosmic-136-017-on-bor-serviced.132413/

and sell the bracelet for 100-150$ [EDIT if your budget is limited to 500$ otherwise keep it]

(I have no connection to the seller 😀)

Guys thank you so much!
yes for starters i'm looking for something simple but not to small so the fact that it will have somewhat wrist presence is a win.
Also that its simple, somewhat formal makes it a great daily I think.
on the other hand the Cosmic brings me back to my original idea (to get a Cosmic - btw If I do get it will keep the bracelet as well.)
Ok i'm making a decision in the following hours - thank you so much for your time and expertise fellas

Note: the Cosmic on this forum is a manual wind, not automatic.
