Well, after reading this older post, I suppose I should consider myself lucky for finding this one, although maybe the calendar date hand may be wrong ;-)

A flood of vintage Omega Cosmic watches
By: nilomis : January 8th, 2013-06:08
Team, A short story about this photo session: Weeks back I got a phone call from one watchmaker, not mine, saying that an old guy was looking for someone to take pictures of his small watch collection. I said that I only do this as a hobby. I was about to...
Your post was the trigger to mine ...

It's funny to see how the customers were obsessed with full calendars and moon phase sixty years back. IMHO the JLC that you posted is more refined in terms of design, but let's remember that Omega was considered, at least here, a very high end brand. Che...
Cosmic!

Considering that some are older than me, they are in shape. Of course, a good visit to my watchmaker is recommended but I don't think that this will happen. Cheers, Nilo

People you do not know just come with a plastic bag full of watches...? And what a bag! I couldn't refrain from smiling when I saw that the case was too small to contain them all. Those are really lovely, lovable watches. Did you have the time to ask him ...
Simple as that...

He was recomended by a common acquaintance and, believe it or not, I got te feeling that he is unaware about the overall value of the collection. He valued the gold ones, I could notice that he was paying more attention when I handle those. I don't handle...

I really want one of these now! :-(
Cosmics are relatively common here ...

But is hard to locate one in good/great shape. I believe, as I was informed by an experienced seller, that the dial making process used by Omega until mid 60's didn't last on our hot and wet climate. That is the reason for many redone dials. Cheers, Nilo

You need to see a port that I'm working related to another Omega line (modern, no one is perfect). It will be an homage to Michael Schumacher. I'm only waiting to confirm his true retirement. Cheers, Nilo
This is overwhelming, stunning and breathtaking to say the least.

I have never seen more than three Cosmic watches together at a time before. Thanks a lot for asking for the permission to share this treasure with us. And to the gentleman owner, if you are reading this, please accept my sincere admiration from Thailand. ...
that is one hell of a lot of cosmics in one place
By: G99 : January 9th, 2013-02:47
these round cases came out in 1947 and continued until i dont know when. the square cased model came out in 1951, but you rarely see them. i had the museum edition which was too much bling for my liking. funnily enough i have seen an influx of cosmics onl...
Nice memory for movies but ...

Here, this movie was named as "A Última Esperança da Terra" (Earth's Last Hope). Did you know that there is a previous movie stared by Vincent Price (Same story, based on the book "I'm a legend"). The fact is that there are many Omega collectors here and ...

Hi holy cow !!! That must have been a great experience !! When the box was opened !1 I would have been stunned. I always like these.... I missed a steel one about 20 years ago and a oversized pink gold one while trying to surf the net with a palm pilot 3 ...

If my watch has a redial, which I'm not to sure of and I have the watch in front of me, then it is so, that I can live with that fact ;)

Those domed-head screws are correct

The main plates and bridges are secured by flat head mirror shine steel screws, and the movement is secured by bigger domed-head steel screws As said, everything in this piece, is factory original.... ...

I'm sorry. Your Cosmic is gorgeous. Omega was/is very popular and much desired here in Brazil and this explains the abundance of vintage ones here. Unfortunately, it seems that the models that I'm chasing were not that popular, like the SM 300 vintage. Ch...
