Gentlemen, In my search for an affordable daily driver, would you be so kind as to opine on this Cosmic listed for sale. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-vintage-omega-seamaster-cosmic-135-017-a-1008215.html Many thanks, GH
Pretty much the same, the 135.017 was made for the manual wind Cal 601, the other was for the auto movement 752. I don't know if they are two way compatible. For a daily wearer the one on WUS looks OK. It's stainless so wont pit like the gold plated ones seem to, the 601 is a workhorse manual movement and should last for many years if looked after (service etc.) Don't know if the price is a good deal for a US based watch but others could guide you on that aspect.
You don't have to buy it from WUS, we have it here in our forum. http://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-omega-seamaster-cosmic-135-017.11838/
Thanks Jim. I did see that this afternoon and have already reached out to instigator. I saw it late last night on WUS before he posted it here this morning (but I much prefer the Omega forum).
