The quote is "So do not expect anything staggering or poignant from paying for this certificate. But if it still intrigues you, you can request a copy of the certificate through OMEGA Customer Service in Switzerland."
Having said that, it does sound a bit too critical of the site, and as I mentioned in my original I think Chronocentric is a pretty cool place on the net. It was actually kind of surprising to read such negativity about requesting the certificate. Part of the interest in paying 3-4X the cost of quartz or other electronic watch to get a mechanical movement lies on the usual European "regulations" that control quality, and the COSC certificate is proof of testing of yoru individual watch.
I actually think the certificate should come with each COSC certified watch sold by an AD in the first place.
