Hi all, Im starting out with my collection, and this is a must have type.
I came across a seemingly good deal,but having second thoughts, and wanted to make sure it is authentic, so that I van move forward with the purchase.

Please help me confirm its Geneve.
These are the pics I got so far, but Im asking for some more too. How does it look based on these to you?

I greatly appreciate the help!

Looks genuine but it’s not a desirable model and I believe it’s a smaller one at 32mm. The case also looks overpolished.

Are you looking for this particular ref or just a Geneve. I wouldn’t put this in the same league as say a 135.070 and even those are entry level pieces.
I assume this is about £150? Even then it wouldn’t attract me.

Genuine but in horrible condition, keep looking.

Hm, interesting. I have never seen any of the geneves at this pricebefore, the ask is 210€.
Not specifically looking for this( only getting familiar with them yet), but it felt like a good option for the price, if authentic.

It’s not. It’s a small, undesirable model that’s not in good condition. There’s a reason it’s cheaper than other Geneves you’re seeing. I’d pass.

It's difficult (almost impossible these days) to find an Omega worth buying for 200 Euro. If that is your budget, I'd suggest looking at different brands. If you want a vintage Omega, I'd suggest budgeting at least 400-500, and even that will require some hunting (and knowledge) to find something decent.

I have had a few newer members asking me for advice on how to spot a good vintage watch and what they should be on guard for. I've decided to post a little primer on how to assess vintage watches...
