Thoughts on this cosmic moonphase please?

http://chronocentric.com/forums/chronotrader/index.cgi?page=1;md=read;id=63248

I'm obviously a newbie here in the position to finally pick up a dress watch for myself. I'm drawn to moonphases and watches that are a comfortable size and this particular omega has always been on my wishlist

Wondering what feedback you all
Might be able to provide? Probably a redial (the date indicators 8 and 9 look a little bold)? I called the watchmaker listed in the ad and the warranty is actually transferable

I'm a car guy and can spot inconsistencies on particular models of German cars rather easily but I simply don't have that expertise in vintage omegas. Any thoughts you might have would be greatly appreciated!

Dial is refinished and day/month wheels in Portuguese.

Mentioned a ding on the left lug and no movement image. I like to see the condition of the movement.

You buy a car. You want to inspect the engine and interior. Same as with a watch

Can also look at other brands for a similar design unless it's the Omega name that's important

Thank you taking a look and for confirming. I will definitely ask for movement pics if things progress.

No the omega name isn't important in and of itself but a more obscure brand vintage watch I figure would be even less transparent to research etc. also need something within reach, the pateks and vacherons of the world aren't in my scope unfortunately- did you have anything specific in mind to recommend?

Zodiac is a popular model. Ebay search with Triple Date will bring up many. Some known names, many unknown, but those will tend to have much lower prices

It's a crap shoot with a lot of these models as many parts are discontinued. Many of the less expensive all use the same movement, so buying a parts movement may be easier.

I've owned a few, but remember. No quick sets back then, so not wearing for a couple of weeks means a lot of button pushing and resets to sync up

DON

thank you Don! appreciate all the feedback and info
