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...
I've sold them all and kept just one. My jumbo 168.001. That's a keeper... Not full gold by the way... sorry for that
One more just back from a very long stay at the spa. Compax 124104, 38mm RG on Horween Shell Cordovan ...
I have a 18 Kt. UG that did not get much wrist time until I changed the strap. I make my own straps and a bund (ish) strap now makes it look good even with jeans.
Here’s my collection of 18k gold pieces, the first being a recent purchase from a fellow member. Come to think of it, the three other pieces were also purchased from OF members
