    This appears to be a Genève from 1967 with cal 601? Looks very nice and legit to me, but then again I'm new to this and do not have a clue. What do you guys say? Any signs of it being a copy? Would this be a good first vintage Omega?

    Then I think is worst, I think the dial was supposed to say Seamaster, maybe someone changed the dial, but wait for more info from the experts.

    To my untrained eye Geneve and the Omega font and style do not match.

    Can someone with sharper eyes confirm if that is case damage?

    Genèves has Seamaster inscribed casebacks.

    The Omega Vintage Database shows this model with a Genève dial.

    Omega was all over the place with Gèneves/Seamasters/De Villes at that time so a Gèneve dial could be OK.

    The damage on the watch could just be dirt, but more like loss of gold plate.
    Also more spots on the lugs etc.

    If you want a nice watch to wear, it's OK.

    If you're a collector after a NOS/mint/rare item then keep looking.

    Quick, rub out Gèneve and increase the value by $77.54

    Thanks guys. Do you think the assumed loss of gold plate on the back is fine, or will it quickly get worse over time? I think it's a really nice watch so I'm very grateful for your answers :)

    Price would be about 350 euros. Thanks for the link, buying from here would feel considerably safer.

    To be honest. $350 is way to much due to the poor case condition. Like I've mentioned a number of times. If I bought that. It would be for the movement only and case tossed into the garbage

    Movement is in very nice condition, but to me. It's a $100 movement. Not as important as a 30 mm, bumper or 55x+ movement

    tell the seller based on case condition. You'll do $100 euro or walk

    Dial is fine; wrong crown though. Wait for a better case.
