Hello, i just started to get interested in buying vintage watches, specially Omegas. I found this Seamaster cosmic but the owner doesn't have much information about it and these are the only two pictures he sent me. Can you guys please help me with more information about it? maybe a price range for these watches? Thank you very much!!
On the back of your watch you will find the Omega reference number - it´s a unique number for this particular model. On the watch it is listed as "136016" but the correct format is 136.016. On earlier Omegas you will have to look at the inside of the caseback for this number.
Start by googling "Omega 136.016", and you will find information and pictures. The Seamaster Cosmic is not the most popular model of the late sixties (not really sure why), but it´s great quality and due to the unusual design of the back, it´s very comfortable to wear.
You may also want to have a look in the Omega Vintage database online. When you enter the ref. number as search criteria, you need to add an extra zero after the dot, like this: "136.0016".
You should be able to come up with this:

I think these are awesome watches! I'd get one myself if I hadn't already gone crazy buying Dynamics from the same era. That being said, I don't dig the one you're posting. It looks a little beaten up and doesn't have the aesthetics of many of its brothers. One just closed on eBay that was a real gem - outwardly anyway!
Your post inspired me to burn more cash, and I ended up buying this one!
There's an identical one on eBay for half what I paid and I'll share the link below.
Is it a problem having a US seller ship to El Salvador? Or are you really trying to hold down your cost?
The one still for sale:

This guy didn't give me correct caliber info which made me suspicious a little. He had good ratings though.
A really great OF member and seller named NoMercy has one more similar to the one you posted. He's done work for me and he's great. He's based in Vietnam and may not be scared away by shipping to Central America. His prices are similar to eBay vendor but with OF listing, there's no doubt everything is legit and watch is fully serviced.
