·Picked this up as a first foray into something vintage and also a birth year even if its a silly idea to want a watch for that reason. Anyway aside from the year I wanted to suss out the size for me at 36mm.
Its an automatic Omega Geneve, basically their basic entry level line. Condition is OK with some scratches on plexi or whatever it is. Might try and polish some of them out, you can see them in the pics and one is casting a shadow on the dial. The dial itself looks to be in good condition. Case has a few marks also but not too bad. Overall it looks decent enough. 1012 automatic movement so nothing fancy but seems to be fairly robust and reliable. Strap isn't to my liking and it has an Omega buckle but I suspect chyynaa, no scratches and says acierinox (weird flaired X) and swiss stamped on it but seems wrong. Also too short and brown isn't for me. I need to do more investigating on the buckle especially as I have only scanned the buckle thread
I'll have a play with it, want to get it on a nice looking back strap so suggestions welcome. From there I'll wear it as a dress watch and see if vintage is for me. I'll get some high mag pics under a digital microscope for fun when I get a chance and when I do I'll post them.
I think I can get away with the 36mm but reckon its style dependent and a black strap may aligator style might give it a bit more weight?? Let me know thoughts on straps, don't want to spend a fortune but something decent.
