Ok, can you do some more photos including of the caseback, and try to zoom out a little and get the dial in better focus? We need that clarity.

At a glace, you've got a triple date moonphase, which is likely a redial (refinished dial). See if there are any stamps into the lugs (like indentations) that could be hallmarks if its a solid gold case (and photo that).

 

SEC all the way, baby! Six in a row and soon to be seven.

Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.

Call me when the Big 12 learns that.

I'll have to wait on someone better versed to call whether its a redial or not, but I have to say, if its original I'd be interested in purchasing it if you were in the mood to sell it

 

Definitely a redial, but I think I saw a solid gold hallmark on the case.



I have seen new dials for these sold by WatchCo in the past. No idea if they would have any more.

Hope this helps,

These watches were never very waterproof, so the dials deteriorated rapidly. As a result, at some point, likely in the 60s, 70s or 80s, a watchmaker repainted the dial so it looked new-ish again. Its never quite the same, but in that era it was an acceptable practice.

 

Does the watch run, and keep good time? If Gator's correct and I'm almost certain he is, its a solid gold watch, its definitely a genuine Omega, and the triple date moonphase is a good model. The fact that its a redial hurts it a lot, as if it were all original and clean, it would be a very valuable watch. Its still worth good money though.

 

That the dial finish was stripped off and repainted at some time in the past. Yes, it hurts the collector value a lot. But a solid gold Omega Cosmic is still a valuable watch.

You watch's dial probably looked like this before the redial:



Sadly, for these watches, the above is very common, as the cases were not water resistant in any way.

Here's what an nice, original Omega Cosmic dial should look like:

As you are in the So E Wis / Chicago area , perhaps one of the members here can advise you on a trusted reasonable service watchmaker. Adam?

 

I'd send a PM to N2FHL (Steve) on here, he's in NJ but if you ship it to him, he does an impeccable job for reasonable money.
