Hi folks, just discovered this wonderful forum. I have over the last year or so developed a keen interest in mechanical watches. I have some grail watches that I am saving for, but in the meantime wish to collect a few interesting vintage pieces. I love the look of the Geneve and have found one for sale but it looks a little too clean to me. Maybe had a dial refinish? I would appreciate any help. Here's the link... http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=738857487&cc=61&pid=317976771&hbc=12&ct=link It's a site from here in New Zealand and the price is in NZ dollars. Rod
Case looks a bit over polished. Dial may be repainted, if so it's not badly done. "T - SWISS MADE - T" doesn't look right to me. No mention of service history. No movement pics Not collector quality. Almost $700NZ? A bit too much for too much unknown.
Thanks Jim, thats pretty much what I thought. Any idea what I could expect to pay for a decent example? Also do you know what colour dials this model was made with? I have seen black ones and white ones.
