It's nice to have a COSC rated watch, but imho COSC rating is more marketing hype than a true indicator of the (potential) precision of a mechanical watch. Most modern mechanical watches can be adjusted to run within COSC specs. And I don't believe the Sub 14060M non COSC runs less accurately than the COSC version of it since the movement is the same.

Quite right and it allows them to bump up the price a bit!

I agree.

When I had my Omega Seamaster I contacted Omega and they sent me the official COSC certificate. It is pretty cool actually. It outlines all the details about how the watch was tested, what positions and the gain/loss in those positions.

I have since sold my Omega, but I still have pics of the COSC certificate.
