Can you kindly offer comments on this Geneve, offered from a seller out of Portugal. Presented to be in Mint condition. I think it's expensive at $1,600, but to my simplistic eye it does look very nice.

 

How many is he giving you for that price?

 

Ya it looks very clean but you could get so much more with 1,600 I wouldn’t even give it a closer glance. Maybe they will be worth that in a few years and he is getting ahead of the curve

 

You guys are great!!! It was advertised as "never worn." I will take your advice and have some more patience. Aside from the price, for my edification, does it have any flaws that you can see from the pictures?

 

Two different watches in the photos.

 

I'll be damned you're right. Maybe it's two for that price after all

 

Here's the link to that nice Geneve for more pix and description...

If it has never been worn, why did they polish it? Anyway, the price is 3x what it's worth.

 

How about this Geneve...
18k solid gold, $1,900.
(I hope it's okay for me to check watches in this manner. Please let me know if it is not.)

If you’re prepared to spend $1,600 and want a Genève, you might want to check out examples from the 50s and early 60s when the Geneve line was at the top of its game. The Geneves from that period are beautiful and very collectible IMO. Here’s mine From 1959 as an example.

 

As I mentioned in reply to your PM yesterday, I think your best bet is to choose something from this site's for sale section rather than shop online from random website offerings.

 

Agreed. I know of at least two Geneves that are currently for sale in the private watch sales forum on OF, both from very reputable members.

 

That's a stylish watch. What a contrast with the utilitarian 1970s Geneve styling.

 

It’s not horrible but consider yourself lucky, if you have 1,600 to drop on a watch you can do much much better. Don’t be in a rush to part with your cash. Check out the sales sections here, eBay and in your local area, you will find something very nice

 

Perhaps I am missing something. I see in the Watch Marketplace two subcategories, one is called "Watches for Sale" and the other is called "Private Watch Sales." Are these the two "places" that you are referring to? If so, how long does one usually wait for something to pop up? I thought the Geneve would be a common watch, but I don't see one like I've been referring to in either of those two "places." (Your advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated.)

 

Hi, @Bencherman - always good to see a new face/avatar/y'know what I mean. What watches do you have at the moment?

 

You want the private watch sales forum. You have to be patient. Modern Geneves regularly come up for sale, but you just have to keep checking.

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you. I appreciate the suggestion. I'm starting to get used to navigating through the various portions of the Forum and Threads. Is there a reason why the dates of the messages seem to be disorganized, and out of order?

 

O

i can’t speak to that, but perhaps one of the mods can. You can narrow what’s available down very quickly by using the search function.
