·It's only gold filled and pretty scratched up, but I love wearing this one. I got it around 10 years ago really cheap at an auction. I only bought it for the movement (c.565) which I was going to use to build a Seamaster 300, but when it arrived I couldn't bring myself to scrap it. It was well used so somebody must have enjoyed and loved it, so I just put it in a box and left it. Last year I decided to get it serviced and I've enjoyed it ever since and wear it with anything.
I've thought many times that I should have got the parts for the Seamaster before prices went sky high and built one up, but I probably wouldn't have worn it that much. I have a Speedmaster, but I use this old Genève far more often as it's so comfortable and just feels right.
My grandad used to like gold watches (not solid gold!), so I like to think he would have really enjoyed this watch, too...
