Genève Dynamic - worth a punt?

I like these. They wear well, and look really good - a great example of 70's style.

The dial is probably damaged from removal during service, as the case is a monocoque and everything comes out through the front. There were several dial types, and many service dials are available.

It is a day date, slightly rarer - but I am not sure the demand makes it worth any more.

The price sounds on the high side for a watch with this dial. There is always a selection available, and there are also many assembled ones using NOS parts which look good, though I myself prefer the old ones. The NOS ones go for £600-800+

Here is a quick shot of mine:

Not enough to justify the asking price.

The tool isn't actually for opening the watch its for removal of the strap/bracelet and isn't anything special which can't be accomplished easily by other means.

that should give you the market value when it plays out...

Lots of small imperfections on the dial & replacement hands. The tarnishing on the hour markers makes me suspicious about how watertight the watch has been & whether there is any related damage or issues in the movement.

For the prices these go for it's not worth a gamble on the movement unless the price is half of what he's asking. If it was me, I'd want the dial to be in much better condition beofre taking a punt on the quality of the movement anyway.

Hope this helps.
