    Guys,

    It arrived and looks like it is in great shape...at least on the outside. I can't see anywhere that the gold plating has been worn off significantly. Does dial look original to you folks?

    Regards,
    Jon

    You know something, I really love how these Cosmic dials are three dimensional like that

    Looks gold capped, which is a thicker layer. That's a sharp watch. :thumbsup:

    Big thumbs up on that one. :thumbsup:

    I had my doubts from the eBay photos, but as they say in poker..."No balls, no blue chips".

    Congrats,

    Thanks, guys, for the feedback. Anybody think the dial was redone? I'm curious as to why the lume in the hands is so white, but the lume dots are so dark.

    It seems to be keeping great time. Nonetheless, I am going to take it for an evaluation and servicing by the watchmaker ULackFocus recommended.

    I paid $289 for it, which seems like a fair deal to me for a fun, very wearable watch. However, I understand that the Cosmic 2000's are on the low end of the Omega spectrum.

    Warm Regards,
    Jon

    Logo on your watch seems to match this one. Maybe the lume was redone, maybe not.

    You still did well with this one,
