Hi, looking to find out if this is a genuine? Can t see many with numbers on the face.....also I can't get the back open....any help would be appreciated, thanks
It’s genuine but it’s a franken. The case is a genuine first generation Geneve case, but the dial is a later second generation dial. The two don’t go together
I assume the original dial was damaged, perhaps due to moisture, and a watchmaker replaced the dial with the current (at the time) Geneve dial. Just worth parts value, which is maybe £200 if the case is gold capped. However, it looks like it may be solid gold. If so, it’s worth the gold value. Check between the lugs and/or inside the case back to see if there are any stamps or hallmarks confirming gold cap or solid
