I really like the old style geneve so I took the plunge. What do you guys reckon?

 

Beautiful. Congrats

 

Thanks guys Ill post more pics when it arrives!

 

I reckon I agree with you.

 

Very nice! Is the dial white or more in the off white shade?

 

I really love them. Your article was a great help when picking it. I also saw your post explaining that the 2981 cal 503 was missing from the database (which this is) so it put my mind at ease.

 

Im not 100% sure but I will post some pics when it arrives.

You feel tired, you feel sleepy, you are now thinking of flipping this watch and you are feeling good about this move. You know precisely who you must call to make this watch go away from your collection, you know it will go to a good home...

 

Hahahaha I wish this would have worked on members on this forum. It would have saved me a lot of time and effort!

 

Very nice and congrats. You did realise you just planted one foot on the road of no return yeah?

 

Yes I know. I only won the auction a few hours ago and I am already adding watches to watch list for my next purchase.

 

Thanks, but to be honest I don't remember the article. I did do a couple posts on these old pre-1961 Genèves, and even started a thread that was stickied on WUS trying to gather information because there isn't a really complete guide on them despite the original Genèves being sleepers and pretty popular with the experienced vintage collectors.

Mmmmm hmmmm. Nice try. Not quite done wearing it yet.

..... and I think I'm gonna pull it out of the box right now.

 

Maybe it wasn't your article but I sure remember your name cropping up a lot when I was searching for information on these old geneves. So thanks for the info!

 

Nice!
Razor sharp case.

 

Thanks Pltpro.

Now to decide which strap to put on it. I quite like the colour of the one in the pic but I would have to get a new one.

 

That's a really beautiful watch!

 

Very very nice. I like this Omega.
