I'm about to buy this watch from a friend for $1800. So I just want to know if i'm paying the worth of my money. Is the dial still original? Is the case ok? I will appreciate any feedback. 🫶

It's a redial. First tell is date track numeral flip. They should all remain in one orientation

I used the reversed search through google lens. The dial numerals are the same for this one

First step if you compare watches: Find an original example

The seller of your comparison example sells mostly 60s dress watches, some of them redialed without mentioning this. Not trustworthy IMO

So this one is redial too? I’m very confused because I see some dials with the same numerals format. So i apologize for asking too much

Both the OP dial and this example are actually the same dial in different cases

Looks like the same watch to me.

With the Omega TDMP Cosmic's there are probably more redials out there than one's with original dials. So just doing a quick random Google is not going to help you. You need to study original dials.

Oh yeah I see that now....I can't decide which case ref is the OP's watch? It looks steel, but the only two steel ref's are the 2471 and the 2486 and it doesn't look like either of those....the Japanese one looks like a pink gold top 2606? Maybe it's the same case just different colour balance?

I’m only checking the numerals format because you mentioned they should be in one orientation. But I keep seeing some that are not

Could it be a wrong case too?

I've already explained why, the majority have been redialed.

Yes 2606 is the pink case:

But the OP steel case is weird, I don't recognise the shape of the lugs.

You keep finding redials, that’s why the numbers are upside down.



And this one which is original as well - ref 2471
