Omega Geneve Buying Advice: 40th Birthday Gift Watch

SOG53

If you are looking at Gold Cap watches need to look for case wear often on lugs. Easy to miss depending on photo quality.

Keep an eye on the Private Watch Sales and Watches for Sale threads here on OF from trusted OF members (Private Sales) and vetted dealers (Watches for Sale).
You will generally do better buying from trusted OF members
Also the Recomnended EBay Listings are vetted listings with country of origin of seller these Geneve show up quite often.
Good luck !

Hi ! Based on my experience and purchase, I believe these watches should not be more than 500 to 600 € Perhaps you would be able to have the forum look at the movement ?

If you are London based, may I recommend J.E.Allnutt in Midhurst? You probably won't get that exact style of watch, and you may end up spending a bit more. But you will get an original watch in good condition with the backup of a guarantee.
I have no connection other than being a customer. I accidentally stumbled across their shop a couple of years ago. I wrote about them here: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=187&t=1997939 You'll have to dig through the thread to find the Allnutt post.

☺️Looks nice, price is fine, just set it, wind it up and if it’s still keeping time after 24 hours - gift wrap it 👌
