    After a tedious yet so enjoyable month of learning, researching, and hunting, I pulled the trigger and bought my first Omega; a Vintage Automatic Seamaster Cosmic.

    Ref # - 166026 - Tool 107
    All original besides the strap.
    Gold Filled
    Circa 1965

    I will be getting a new strap for it as I don't like how narrow this one gets towards the buckle.

    It's been a real treat being on this forum and the amount of help and knowledge the members here have given me and allowed me to take in, is amazing. I will for sure be sticking around for my interest in Omega's, especially Vintage.

    Please let me know what you think of the watch. Thanks everyone!

    It should be, it opens from the front so I have not seen the movement. Will be taking it to a watch maker to have a look inside.

    possibly no need to open it. On the timegrapher it should tell you more about how the movement work. I personally find the strap perdfectly adapted to this kind of watch.
