    Manure wind! Not sure I like the sound of that.

    Hmm man wind Geneve with unfashionable gold plated finish? I would want it at £175-£200 if running, a lot less if not. If it were a running steel cased one in good nick then maybe £225-250 but not otherwise. GP stuff is hard to shift, it has all the negative style connotations of yellow gold without the actual luxury feel and when it wears and brasses through it isn't fixable by polishing and can look bad.

    It runs lovely no faults the gasket looks like it needs replacing within a couple years but apart from that in good condition for its age

    That gasket looks like it's turned to black gloop.

    Stick it up for 99p no reserve, and let the market decide. ;)

    No offence but original crown and knackered gasket means zero water resistance, the buckle looks worn through the plate and the case has dinks. The crystal is scratched at best and cracked at worst (can't see the omega symbol in the middle by the way). It is honest and fairly original certainly but still not going to be worth loads. The steel 565 auto Geneve models like this are still in the £250-£300 range so to expect nearly the same from a man wind gold plated one is optimistic IMO. You did ask for opinions!
