good evening, I have just received a 1972 omega Geneve auto. I fear it manever fake due to how clean it is? It looks brand new, you would expect a 1972 watch to have some wear and tear. Any tell tale signs from this pic?

 

Apologies for the typos and shortness.. Doing this via my phone

 

Sorry didn't realise pic wasn't clear, it looks ok on my phone but I guess not on PC. Will take some more. Thanks

 

So far it's looking authentic to me.

 

thanks couple more attached

 

I don't see anything suspicious.

 

Some good reassurance! Thanks guys

 

Some minor polishing has worn off the crispness of the lugs, otherwise it looks like a good catch.

Crown looks a bit big but that may be photographic distortion (or my eyes )

For a solid recomendation, a shot of the crown, movement and both sides of the caseback would help.

 

But here is question, for watch over 30years the dial is so clean and nice. That's throw me off a lot

 

There could be endless explanations for the condition. My circa 1967 Genève has a perfect dial and sharp edges. It was serviced once by its original owner then tucked away in a drawer when he bought one of those fancy new fangled Quartz watches from Japan...

 

I have several early 70's watches with almost pristine dial condition. No issue there.
As long the tightness integrity of the crystal and case is good, it is not unusual to find an almost mint condition dial.
Case is totally different thing. Very hard to find in mint and unpolished condition.

 

What that man said ^

 

I come to the right forum then...waiting to buy one of those from all your fanatics! Maybe you guys will let one of them out from your hoarding so I could buy it! LOL

 

Just check in Forum Sales section......

 

Not all of us are hoarders - see below:

A few of us will try a watch for a few weeks to a few months, and if we don't think of it as a permanent part of the collection it goes on the sale forum.
