    Hi all. I've been watching Omega for a while. And I found two. I need your help to decide because I do not know who is original or who has issues.
    Omega Geneve costs € 340 and I think it looks pretty good.

    But I don't know what to say about the Omega Seamaster ... it costs 360 €

    Both seem to be original (not 100 % sure about geneve dial due to bad quality of picture) but both have issues. Case (lugs) of Seamaster is heavily polished. Movement of geneve is in really bad state and caseback also shows sign of polishing. If I had to decide, I’d take the seamaster but personally I would stay away from both....

    The Geneve is a plated case from around 1970 and frankly doesn’t have a lot going for it. I’m a fan of the 1960s screw back Seamasters and your example is a gold capped automatic from 1960. It has been polished and the gasket may be hiding some pitting - need better pics. The dial looks original, if tired. At around $400 its not a great buy but not unreasonable.

    For me for 20 Euros more I would take the 60's Seamaster every day of the week over the Geneve!
