·Looking for some help...I am looking to potentially buy a 1970's Cosmic 2000 38mm (non C case) and the seller states the movement was serviced and is a cal. 565, I'm new to this line but in the short research i've done i thought these had the Cal. 1012? I'm unsure of the Ref.# but it looks just like the 166.128 model. Thanks for any help on this!
In any case before buying a preowned watch you should ask for high detailed pictures. There you should see which calibre it has and which reference it is. Then do your research on Omega's website for vintage watches.

Thanks, turns out it was a typo on their eBay ad, it had the correct info on their website. I’m still requesting photos however.

unfortunately, no. many years ago I had just made a final payment on one and then it was stolen before I could get it in hand. I was just curious about why there are no 2000's allowed in this thread. is it a bad model? something else?

No, it's not a bad model. Completely arbitrary decision – I just think the original Cosmics look better 😀

·My first vintage watch.
After one month still seems so shiny and special to my eyes ... nothing like the norm of average modern watches.

·Beautiful, where did you get the strap if I may ask?

The site of Omega has the watch on a minimal "non croc" texture so I went for it. Goes better with the futuristic case imho

·These are all bangers, would love to join the club 😉
Currently considering buying this one, seller and I just agreed for €250. It's working but it seems to me like the crystal took a big hit at the bottom part though, and the crown is missing. I've asked for more pictures, hopefully in better quality. Any opinions?

What's your budget for restoration?
With the crown missing, moisture incursion and rusted movement is very possible. Don't be surprised if the repair bill stretches into multiple hundreds of euros on this piece.

·I'm still waiting for the seller to answer and provide more pictures, I get the feeling I won't receive much more information, hopefully I'll be surprised.
I'd say around 300 grand total maximum. Do you think it's manageable?
Since my first message I've had a crush on another Cosmic in much better condition on eBay... and my fiancee ordered it today! It's a 166.023 Tool 105 Date and it will be my very first Omega - the fact that it'll be an engagement present makes it even more special.
I've been looking back and forth at vintage Omegas for some time now and Seamaster Cosmics really put their spell on me. Genuinely can't wait to rock this one, absolutely loved everything on it - the dial and hands color combination, fixo-flex bracelet...
Here it is: eBay link

Special thanks to @Nupero for his great buyer guide.

This looks to be in better conditions than the previous one. Just a heads up: make sure you're aware of the size. I own a ref. 165.026SP and its case size it's a little bit larger than 35mm and I feel it's on the edge of "feeling small" especially since it’s not an “all dial”. 33 It’s going to be quite small compared to most modern men’s wristwatches, and even compared to a lot of vintage ones. It’s just something to be aware of and maybe you already were 👍

·It depends on the watchmaker & what level of restoration work you need, & if that's also intended to include some degree of cosmetic work. I expect €300 would roughly get you a movement service, a replacement crown & stem, & not much else. And that's without knowing the actual condition of the movement & what other parts this piece may need replacing.
