Since you're quoting the price in GBP, I assume you're not in Israel? In which case you'll have to factor in import duty. In my opinion, it's too expensive even before that added charge: Damaged dial, case is heavily polished, which is sure to have broken through the thin gold plating, even though the seller seems to be doing his best to conceal this in dark pictures. There are a few additional, minor issues. Bottom line: Much nicer Geneves like this can be found for roughly the same money.

Okay thanks for your feedback. I’m sure there are nicer Geneves but I’m struggling to find them haha

Not a bad watch but yea there are a lot of them and I post them often in the eBay recommended thread. Also consider Seamaster Devilles too, they’re superb and not much more.

OP, you might want to consider holding out for a 1950s or very early 1960s “cursive” Geneve. They are more expensive and harder to find in good condition, but more collectible and worth the wait. They do come up for sale in the private watch sales forum on OF from time to time.
