Wow, you've got an Omega museum going here! This thread makes me want to get more vintages Omega's. I have an extra bracelet for the Seamaster Cosmic (it has the wrong endlinks), but I might try find the matching watch head for this some day as an excuse to add another.

I've been buying watches for 35 years, so it's really only 3 a year.

Please don't be insulted by this question, but do all of those run, working examples?

There were a few that didn't work. When you have so many vintage watches, you never know when an individual one might stop.

I use to be able to get them serviced for $35, so at that time I would get them serviced, whenever the were not running.
Unfortunately, my watchmaker passed away 6 years ago, and I have not found anyone as cheap or as good as he was. He would make the parts if necessary, and fixed watches other repairman couldn't.

You pretty much picked off where I was headed with that. Still, most impressive collection.

Watches that stop running all of a sudden comes with the territory when you are talking vintage watches.
