Hi,

Few months ago I found an old Omega in my grandfather's drawer. It didn't work anymore, it was soul'less.

After some research, thanks to this wonderful forum I found the watch was an Omega Cosmic 2000.

. . . neither of them mine! One came from a gentleman's estate . . . . . . thru his granddaughter, and the other from a friend . . . [Omega cal 565] . . . who gave me his Grandfather's ref 166.002 Seamaster. It would be almost as difficult to part with either of these had they belonged to my own grandfathers. I love seeing resurrections of family heirlooms; many thanks for sharing yours. Cordially, Art
