    Just wanted to share a new acquisition: My first ever Genève Automatic (not counting Dynamics).

    Did not give it much thought, but I am bit of a sucker for coloured dials, and blue ones normally does well IMO.
    With a very fresh looking caliber 565 in a half decent SS case + signed crown!
    I made a not too optimistic max bid, and it kicked in at EUR10 below it so feeling good about the price. I hope I have not messed up on anything? OVD seems to be out, but I am guessing on a 166.070 ref? Or any better guesses!?

    It will get a light case refurb and a movement check when it arrives.....
    Even came on a Omega strap with signed buckle. Sellers pictures:

    Don´t think so.... Found a few looking the same, but you never know. One of the thrills of buying on medium quality pics......

    Checked on the databases and there is no separate bezel on these. I think it is only due to poor lighting. Most watches I have seen of this style has been heavily polished, at least this one does not seem to have had that happen to it. ;)
    Will post some better shots when it arrives in a weeks time.

    It has landed! And I am very pleased to inform that all looks better than expected!
    Will get a little clean-up over the next days, but otherwise it is ready to be enjoyed.
    Cal 565 performs wonderfully with good amplitude and snappy date change.:D
