Hi everyone

I have never owned a vintage Omega watch before but I have fallen in love with a 1974 Geneve.

It has a blue dial and a 1030 caliber.

I do not like the strap and if I decide to buy it, it will be without the strap.

What do you guys think? Hope you'll help me out

(The price is in Danish Kroner which translate to an approximate of $ 575)

 

Nice watch, but I would personally get one from the 50s or 60s with either a cal. 26X or 28X. It was Omega's glory days. Others might be of a different opinion. I think $575 is high but it is worth what someone is willing to pay. Around $300 would sound more right to me.

I would wait and check out the sales section on this forum. Don't rush into your first buy.

BTW I am from Copenhagen myself

Here are a couple of mine, a cal 285 from 1963 and a cal 267 from 1959

 

And welcome to the forum, it's addictive

 

That Seamaster 30 is very nice!

 

Yes, I fell in love at first sight but my wife quickly took a liking to it and I haven't seen it much since

 

I don't think there are many omegas out there in that sort of condition for $300. I don't know if the dial is original or not (Genève's are not my thing) but if others confirm its not been messed with I'd go for it if I wanted it...

 

Thank you all for your help!!!

 

Do any of you know how to tell if the dial is an original?

 

I've got a linen dial almost exactly the same, but no seamaster branding.

 

I think the dial is original and in good condition. Not sure about the price in Denmark, but it's quite high compared to the US market. A good automatic Geneve of the same era usually sells for couple hundreds less on eBay.

 

Cool thanks - this is not an automatic. I'll write him and see if he'll come down in price
