    Hey folks,
    I came across two vintage Omega Geneve's on a Carousell listing. The owner didn't know much about the watches and couldn't give me an answer as to when the watches were last serviced, so being unfamiliar to vintage Omegas, I decided to turn to you experts here to help me with my purchasing decision.

    I'm interested in the history of these pieces in general (year, movement, etc.) and more importantly their originality (redials, mismatched dial/hands combo, etc.). The lowest the seller would take was around 340 USD per piece. Aesthetically I'm leaning towards watch A but I'm also interested as to which would be considered a smarter purchasing decision.

    Thanks a lot for your time and expertise!

    Cheers,
    Ryan

    If you could provide clear photos (preferably hi res) of the inside of the case back and the movement, you'll get a lot more information.

    Thanks for your reply. I have already asked the seller for those pics and unfortunately he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

    I would stay away from Watch B regardless. Looks like an incorrect redial to me.

    Can’t comment on A, as pictures are fuzzy and out of focus.
