    I have inherited this Omega Geneve and I don't know the first thing about it or its value. I know it is from around the 1960's or 70's and it has only ever been worn a handful of times and is in immaculate condition. I am told both the watch and the strap are 9crt gold. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks

    With that Geneve font, late 50s to early 60s would be more acurate. Looks to be in outstanding condition...some better (closer) pictures of the dial and seeing the inside of the case back (watchmaker helpful here) would tell more.

    Thanks for the info Hijak. I will try get some more pictures and yes it is in outstanding condition, almost like new. Would you have any idea of its value?

    Straps is worth about $7.00 and has to go as it will scratch the lugs

    I have to disagree with that, these early first generation Geneve watches are somewhat sought after. And in the condition of this piece I think it would get quite a bit more than $250. Better pictures would help this much.

    That's because these early Geneves are not as common as the later ones. Better pictures are a good move and will get you more help here. Are you looking to sell this or just looking for information?

    Bit of information initially but if the price is right then may look to sell...
