Thoughts on a Geneve 135.070

Martyn1 · Sep 4, 2021

My search for a vintage Omega continues and has brought me to the below. To a novice like myself, the dial and movement look ok. It looks like one of the lugs is a bit chewed up.

Here are some pictures from the seller along with a link to the listing here. My only query would be the positioning of the Swiss Made lettering. Usually, this is positioned underneath the hour/ minute markers, I don't think I've see a one where the text is above the hour marker like this. Is this common?

Thanks

Try searching Omega 135.070 using google images and see if you find other examples with a similar dial and hand-set.

Looks fine to me. Dial, case and crown look good as do the hands.

The movement looks fine but probably needs a service (the seal looks a bit tired) but 601s are good movements, parts are readily available (so I understand) and in the UK I’d expect a straightforward service to cost around £80-120 plus parts and postage.

Stainless steel is a good choice, you can wear it with a suit or jeans.

The price is in the general ball park but since the seller invites an offer I’d offer £375-400 and see where that takes you.
