Omega Cal 564 Sparkle Chronometer in nice condition, stainless steel, 36mm nice sized case, these are just among Omega’s best of the era to wear today but they often go close to a grand or more now that people are aware of how good they are. If you’re lucky they may stay below that but its becoming uncommon.

Prospective buyers should note that the brushing on the lugs have been refinished and rather ham-fistedly so. Other areas may have been retouched as well - hopefully more competently.

Only an hour and a half left on this Geneve in the UK, only 250 quid atm

It could be a good buy if the price stays low but it looks as though it will still need a service and a new crystal.

There have been a few manual wind .041 cased Geneves posted on this thread (thanks @dsio) but they really don’t compare with the 552/565 automatic model.

I used to have a couple of handwinds but traded up to automatics and have no regrets.

Almost sounds as though you haven't yet had the pleasure of negotiating the replacement of a 550-series winding weight pinion ;)
