Nice wearable entry level Cal 552 automatic Geneve in steel, crown crown but not a big deal.

And the crown seems to be a clover style example, which should be of value if it is actually Omega signed (as the description mentions). Likely more than enough to get the right Genève crown for it.

Really nice vintage Geneve Cal 601 in 19kt gold 0.800 purity case, from memory these were Portuguese domestic production cases with this unusual gold fineness. This one has certainly been kept very well.

@dsio thanks for the heads up on this one. Didn't get any bids first time so made an offer when it was relisted at a lower price and won. Just sent it off to Simon Freese for a service. Case and dial appeared to be in very good condition except for one of the lugs was slightly bent which can hopefully be rectified. Any additional info on these cases would be greatly appreciated.

Those 552 movements are really underrated, I believe. Look at their prices.

Not underrated at all actually. The 550 and 560 series are some of the best movements ever made and their reputation for build quality, reliability and accuracy is well established.

This looks rough in photos but I actually think it’s going to clean up really well after a service and new crystal. Constellation C-case Cal 751 in gold-capped with unrelated earlier period box and papers

Thanks for the original heads up Ash. I have been watching it for a few days now. I have always been a little sceptical of the seller as his prices generally seem too high. (For instance - On the sellers Web site this watch was selling for £1250)
This was the first watch I have been interested in that has been no reserve so really happy to have won it for £588. I think that's a good price for the UK.

I'll share some photos when it arrives

I was in the early bidding for this. Went a bit high for me but glad it came to the OF family 👍

I set myself a ceiling if £600 so only just nabbed it. Never quite sure with UK prices at the minute. Think the price paid is fair but not necessarily a bargain. (Subject to inspection of course)

Yeah trying to get the hang of UK prices. Factoring in 30% on top of US prices and it sort of makes it more equivalent. Do post pics when it arrives!
