··@SpeedyBirthYearFor sale a nice entry level vintage Omega Genève 136.070 in good vintage condition. Whilst these stainless steel Genèves are rather easy to find with white or silver dials, finding a (denim) blue dial like this one is a completely different endeavour...
I have always wanted to venture out into the broader Omega world, in spite of being a rather focused Speedmaster fan in the core. As part of a trade I did about two years ago, I got the opportunity to acquire this piece, which I obviously ceased. I've certainly enjoyed it. The reason for passing it on is that I acquired a dog leg pie-pan Constellation a while ago and recently added a gilt dial Seamaster. When worn in rotation, I prefer a watch without date window, so this timepiece will have to go.
Please find an assessment of the watch below. I have attempted to be as brutally honest as can be. Also note that I am certainly not the first owner of this watch...
Dial: Beautiful sunburst blue, slightly greenish, which is absolutely mesmerising, with an applied Omega logo acting as the cherry on the pie. The original dial with all indexes, printing and lume plots perfectly in tact. All spots in the picture are on the plexi, apart from a tiny dot left of the twelve o'clock marker. I believe it is a speck of dust, but I cannot rule out it is a tiny blemish.
Hands: I believe these to be the original hands.
Case: Nice fat case with very sharp edges. Some hairline scratches but overall in good condition, most notable scratches are on the top of the lower right lug and on the case back. Note that there is some minor pitting near the upper right lug. Edit: picture of the affected area added below. Case back with crisp Waterproof engraving. Diameter 35mm excluding crown, but wearing slightly bigger as a result of its relatively large dial surface.
Movement and Serial: A trusty manual wound movement with a serial in the 2922xxxx range.
Runs and winds smoothly with all functions working properly. It is supposedly serviced before I got it, meaning in the last two years. As I don't have any proof of said service, I still recommend a check-up after purchase. I have only worn it sporadically and have not observed any major deviation whilst wearing it. Edit: please consider it in need of a service, whilst it runs great, the condition of the caseback seal proved poor as it broke whilst opening the watch up for a movement shot. Movement itself is very clean as can be observed from the pictures added below.
Crown: Omega signed, possibly original.
Bracelet: None. Comes with a rather fresh grey suede strap (with unmarked buckle) fitting the watch very nicely.
Can be shipped worldwide, although I would strongly prefer a F2F deal in the Netherlands given the value concerned and more importantly, the benefit of meeting a fellow OF-member in person.
No returns, please ask questions and extra pictures in advance. I am not making a habit out of selling, but I do have some - exclusively positive - references as a seller and buyer on this forum and could share more.
Plenty of references here on OF.
Price: EUR 675 (OBRO, net to me and excluding shipping)
