Don’t know much about this kind of omega.
Looks a bit more untouched than the other watches?
Any opinions please? Thank You

I wouldn’t call it untouched. It looks like it’s seen a polishing wheel, or three. Plus the wear on the dial. The lighting of the pictures is also off - I thought it was steel, not gold. I would pass.

 

Not great. There are better examples out there.

 

Thank you. Can you recomend any particular sites/places etc?

 

Here is what a tidy one looks like:

 

Yes, the private watch sales forum on OF. I sold a nice Geneve that was listed on that forum a few months ago.

 

DIBS, please

 

Keep an eye on the classified’s here. Unfortunately watches of this vintage are always hit or miss for availability and it’s hard to find a great example without patience. Read up on what to look for, there are some good sticky’s in the vintage forum that will help hone your eye to be able to spot over-polishing and repainted dials.

 

I beg to differ. A truly excellent, or "tidy" vintage Genève should always feature nice, clearly defined chamfers on the lugs. It was one of the design cues that set it apart as a top-of-the-line model, and when polished to any significant degree, they are typically lost.

 

Mines actually a Brit case one so may not in fact have looked like that to start with, but I do take your point.

 

^And they are getting very tough to find in that kind of condition.

 

If it was original, it did look like that. All of the early Genève had that feature on the cases. I have never seen an exception. And I've owned a few...

 

.....and here we go. @adrian scott , don’t mind the kids as they wrestle on the floor.

 

Thank you. Wonderful watches. Wish I'd started 20 years ago

 

This is my one with the 2904 (36mm) case as opposed to 2903 (34.5mm) and has clear defined chamfered edges. The 2903 would be the same. These are very hard to come by in such condition this took me 3 years to find.
