I recently bought this Geneve and I’d love to know more about it. It needs a service as it runs fast and doesn’t hold masses of power but I’m putting it down to being old. Got a great deal on this, and really happy with how it looks minus the markers looking a little beat up. But regardless love the personality of it. Has an original clasp but unsure on bracelet, it does have an engraving saying 18m on it but not sure if that means anything to provenance. Any knowledge is appreciated!

Someone will be able to tell you more but in order to do that they will need better quality higher res pix not only of the front but including the back and of the movement as well of the inside of the case back, until then it would only be guessing at best

Hello @ShabsOldIsGold and welcome to the forum!
When you take your watch in to your watchmaker for a service, please take a few well-lit, sharply-focused pictures of the information engraved on the inside caseback as well as on the movement, and post those pictures here. The inside caseback should contain the model reference for your watch and the numbers/letters on the movement will be the serial number and (possibly) an import code. The reference number will allow you to search for similar watches and the movement serial number can help approximate the manufacturing date.

Thankyou, I’m putting it into service in the coming days I’ll take the photos and repost!
