I found this Omega Geneve in a local shop today and I have it on hold till tomorrow
when I have to decide whether or not to buy it. I don't have a lot of experience with these so I am asking
for opinions, advice, information, valuation, please
Owner said he bought it new in 1976
Has a non quick set date box
Dial is in nice condition-Redial?
Crown is worn and appears to be a replacement-opinions?
Case top is gold cap with wear on both sides-some separation of the cap on side opposite crown
Case back is steel-nice condition-stamped Waterproof-screw back
Crystal looks good-not sure if original but I doubt it
Appears to be running-not sure when it was last serviced or if it is keeping good time
Steel band is non-Omega and is a throw away
I have not yet opened the case-so I have no idea of movement or case #'s-what would be the correct #'s for this watch?
Opinions-should I buy and at what price point-or pass? What would be a fair price to pay?
If anyone is interested in this watch, I would gladly work out a deal to buy and send to anyone interested
Sorry for the hurried IPhone pictures
Thanks in advance for your help

 

Dial looks original, but the overall condition is quite poor.

I'd pass regardless of price.

 

I would buy it if its in the 50$ range. Parts could come in handy.

 

What a beater! That's the type of "donor" watch that the guys making up the WatchCo SM300's are after to take the movement (caliber 565) out of.

 

Thanks
Guess I'll pass on it
I appreciate the input
