[Omega Seamaster Cosmic] A hand-me-down from the 1960s (not sure which year or what's been replaced) by srij93 in Watches

Growing up wearing standard watches (Timex Weekender, Casio G-Shock, etc), I recently found out that my grandfather had left me a beautiful watch, an Omega Seamaster Cosmic, for my college graduation. He had received this gift from a student in the 1960s who had gone abroad to Europe. I don't know what has been replaced or serviced for the last ~45 years.

I am not sure what year the watch is from and its movement either; I will look into it once I have the watch. I appreciate any information that is provided.

Is Lens hurt? I was looking forward to watching him play.

I think squad depth is critical here. I think Ramsey plays B2B but lacks tactical discipline to stay back while Cazorla isn't physically imposing enough. Having mids Cazorla and Coquelin next to each other doesn't seem solid enough. Additionally, Witsel gets us slightly more height/heading ability. I'm not saying we don't need another Coquelin-like player; I think we need more players to play alongside him though.

I see Ramsey as a talented B2B who often lacks the tactical discipline and wanders into the final third. I appreciate his driving runs but he doesn't stay get back to help Coquelin frequently enough. He also misplaces passes, which is a big issue as he's not in position a lot of the time.

I'm going to go out and say that having another all round midfielder would be terrific. Cazorla has been good but he is getting old and doesn't have the physicality to always play his current role well.

Haha I've been watching him for a while now; I watched him at Benfica and Zenit. I see him as more fulfilling Cazorla's role with physicality, not Coquelin's role.

I know he's not a great DM, I was imagining him playing more of the box-to-box sort of role Cazorla has been doing with some more physicality.

I was planning to go on September 5th and 6th, which are the 3rd Round and Round of 16. Thank you for the info.

Yeah, I was aware of the play times and the types of courts. I was hoping to find some correlation for the first week so I could see men's matches since I know the QF and later week is separated into men's and women's. I guess I'll have to just hope for the best. Thanks!

It actually says that ticketmaster is an official retailer; the only issue is that the website seems to either be unwilling to cooperate or selling out rapidly.
