    Let's try this again for price that's a lot cheaper (€850) haha:

    For sale a very cool Omega Genève Racing “Grand Sport”

    Model: Genève Racing “Grand Sport”

    Diameter: 35 mm

    Age: 1968

    Movement: caliber 601 manual wind;

    No box or papers;

    The son of the previous - and only owner - had the watch serviced three years ago after the death of the original owner, his father. The watch runs good.

    The watch was made for the Canadian market (in honour of a Grand Prix there?). I think it doesn’t pop up very often (in this condition).

    The condition of the watch is (very) good. The case has some small dents and scratches, nothing serious (!), which ad character to the watch. The matte black dial and lume is 99%. Except for the strap the watch is fully original, including, but not limited to, the movement, hands, plexi and crown.

    The asking price is € 850 euro excluding shipping.

    Haha Nice to see you too. And perhaps it's priced a bit to steep. So last price drop (thanks to cristos and Standy) to 1100 euro.

    This was likely created to commemorate the Grand Prix Formula 1 race run in Mont-Tremblant in 1968. Won by Denny Hulme (NZ driver!). Late 60s and early 70s was a watch spotters dream, with many of the manufacturers bringing pieces forward and distribution to drivers (Heuer was likely the most well known and documented-see the movie LeMans with Steve McQueen or this story: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/ode-to-smoke). Lots of manufacturers team up with present day F1 teams-http://www.0024watchworld.com/watches-formula-1/
    Would be cool to know if this watch had any provenance from that race (given to team members, bought on site, etc.)! Good luck with the sale!
