Picked up this Geneve from ebay for a very low price, sold as not running (sellers pick below)



After opening it today realised someone had a very poor attempt to fix something with the stem and presumably damaged the crystal and hands in the process.

Very glad to see a beautiful sparkle dial and the 565 movement in very clean condition.

So after I service the movement, replace the crystal, damaged hands, stem and crown, I should have a very usable watch 😀

Wittnauer with breguet numerals for the missus, quite surprise how a small watch takes 18mm straps, the croc fits perfectly!

Hey, that movement looks familiar. Mine is in a Lemania. Nice catch. 👍 Also, I believe that the "M" below indicates that the watch originally went to France.

Very cool. Can't wait to hear about the scale. On a quick and semi-sleepy glance, it appears that the intervals between each of the outermost numbers increases in a growing proportion, almost in some sort of log scale. Please do let us know what you find out about it!

Progress at the moment is non-existent but still working on it.
