priamo Thanks for sharing these thus far. I have a few Omega Cosmics on my watch list right now thanks to the reminder. It's a minefield but there's something special about those top loaders I can't seem to get away from. I'll have to share the listing link with you and get your thoughts again.

Agreed! You can't even go on eBay or Chrono24 right now and get neo-vintage ormodern pieces for that much.
This is even true for the Omega Cosmic above to an extent.
Maybe I should consider one of these auctions some day, I might actually stand a chance of winning something.
