Im considering buying geneve as below, do you know what is the exact reference and is everything good and original with that watch?
For me it looks very good but im not geneve specialist 馃榾 is the gold aging badly? I can see some darker spots, is there a way to renew that or just dont care?
Whats the good price for you to buy this one?

Looks nice at first glance, you just need to confirm that it's actually solid 18k gold. IME, it's not so common for 18k gold to tarnish. Not impossible, but not common. Tarnish can easily be removed.

I'm not sure what's going on with the blue stuff on the back. That doesn't look familiar to me.

its like a coating, I had some omegas with it before - means they were slightly used. Ok its 14K I already confirmed that.

It's more common to see some tarnish on 14k gold if it's been sitting unused for a long time.

A cape cod or town talk jewellery polishing cloth relives tarnish on gold in a matter of seconds but many people like it and leave it as is.
