Hi, I am still a noob in vintage omega watches and this forum. I came across one vintage omega cosmic, selling at US$212. Can any learned ones here advise me on the authenticity of this Manual winding watch? Thanks in advance!
Welcome to the Forum! Yes its quite genuine, with a nice movement, unfortunately the case is very worn. I would wait and find one with a nicer case, even at that price.
Watch is genuine. However repairing the damage to the work plating will cost more than buying and example in good condition. As suggested - keep looking for a better example.
I'm a big admirer of the style, but my pick would be a stainless cased cal. 563/565 automatic with a date. Sadly those aren't waiting on the shelf for buyers to come along...and when you find one it will likely be twice as much or more...
