What are anyone's thoughts on condition and price?

 

Good, I thought the same, but didn't want to say!

 

Thanks, I appreciate your input

 

No problem, all opinions are welcomed. That's how we learn. I'm not interested in buying it. I just posted as a FYI. What I didn't know, but surmise is that there is little or no interest in manual winds.

 

This one has a 26X caliber. What is that you prefer about the Geneve vs Century? I really am still learning, so this would be helpful to me and I'm sure others.

 

I like the concept of manual - makes the watch thinner, which I like.

I think it would be useful to know if people are posting with an eye to buy, or just to discuss. Helps others know if they can/should pursue.

 

That's a good suggestion. In this thread, I posted the above Ebay find in case others may have missed it. I'm not interested in buying at the moment. I'm still evaluating which ones I might let go. It looks like a nice clean caliber 2XX.

 

It is nice looking. Now I see why you like the Geneve.

 

I follow that and agree with your evaluation. I learned just a litle more.Thanks.

 

I am in the hunt for one too. And I also prefer it over the Century.

 

Got a couple Genèves myself. Frequently wear the 1960 reference 14.703 caliber 562 with the cross hair dial, and am restoring a manual wind reference 2748 caliber 267.

 

Best of luck to ya, in your hunt.

 

Excellent. Would like to see it when you're finished

 

I can show you it (in parts) now. Bought this 36 mm watch with a horrid redial:










Just bought this correct 31.6 mm dial for it:




Dumb lucked into the watch for a decent price. The regular versions are 34 mm, this reference is one of the very few 36 mm cases. Had to make sure the dial was the correct size because the smaller watches take a dial just under 30 mm.

 

Very cool project. I don't have the expertise nor talent to even imagine doing such a task. You are, as well as I'm sure others on the forum are, true watch aficionados to undetake putting together, what I'm sure will be a fine timepiece.

 

Actually, a few of us had to talk about this before I had the watch in hand. Most of us thought the smaller dial worked for both, using just a larger crystal retaining ring. Turns out that would have been a mistake after Steve / N2FHL measured the dial with his trusty digital calipers. Went and bought the 4" calipers a day later for myself.
