Hi,

I´m quite new to the vintage watch world and on the lookout for my first buy.
I found this Universal Genève SS watch online for the price of around € 400 (~ 475USD)

33 mm
Cal. 265
Manual wind
15 jewels
18000 bph,
38 u Power reserve
Just got a service from the watchmaker

Is this watch worth it or should I keep looking ?
Any tips ?
Thanks

Like you, I am pretty new to vintage collecting, and can’t comment in detail on this specific watch. 33mm might be a bit small maybe, especially if you want to sell later on? More generally, I have been happy in buying only from trusted sellers on trusted fora (like OF), to compensate for my own lack of knowledge.

Good luck 😀

cause you were talking about selling it later... If I would buy it now, it is not with the intention of selling it any time soon

Nice original watch in good condition. I wouldn't pay more than 350 Euros
