That is a very useful video for everyone looking for a Geneve.

My dad bought me an Omega Geneve (stainless steel with silver face) for my 18th birthday. He let me pick which one I wanted and I was struck by the simple elegance of it. My dad died this year but it reminds me of him.

Holy crap I just had to check the glass on my Omega Geneve and it did indeed have a small Omega logo in the middle! Glass looks like new.. Thank you for the info!

My wife’s father give me 565 1969 automatic. It was not working but a good honest watchmaker fix It . Now is running a thing of beauty.

Very helpful ‼️ I definitely wanted a watch from the year I was born. This should be a watch from a reputable brand that still works today and is to my liking. Since you were the first to draw my attention to the Longines Spirit* 37mm Champagne about 1 year ago, it should be a similar watch, but then from 1965. (*I had the Spirit on my arm before, it was 42mm but too big because of the horns.) A Rolex DateJust is too expensive for me, let alone a DayDate. Tudor would be an alternative. Then I simply searched for all brands combined with 1965 on eBay and came across the Omega Genève. Next step was to search for Omega Genève on KZfaq and there I found your first YT video about the Omega Genève. Thanks for your valuable tips, which is why I dared to buy on eBay (550 USD from Israel). I was not disappointed and now have a beautiful watch from my birthyear. Get going 🚀

Thank you Tim. I now have an understanding and more importantly have the confidence of buying a vintage piece without getting taken advantage of.

Omega Geneve from the mid sixties was my first Swiss watch. I bought it from a pawn shop in 1972 for $35 CDN! I had it regulated when I bought it and serviced twice in 25 years by an independent. I loved it for its accuracy, reliability, and understated look. The movement, to me, looked exquisite. Then I was stolen....that made me sad. The End.

Your expertise just convinced me to acquire my first Omega a Geneve! Would you be kind to look at some pics and give me your thoughts?

I have a 1979 Geneve (751 movement) which I like due to it's slimness, accuracy and the fact it takes standard straps. It's very simple and elegant.

Hello. I like a lot this kind of small watches because look like awesome on the wrist. I own a gold plated hand wind Certina Bristol 235 and an automatic stainless steel Certina Bristol 195 and they make me smile when are on my wrist. Nice video about Omega Geneve.

Extremely helpful video, great content!

I did indeed enjoy your video. Thanks for the info.

I’ve just bought a Geneve Dynamic day/date in stainless steel, and I think it is really stylish, and excellent value for money.

Great content !! Keep doing it. I’m going to buy an omega to start my collection and this video will help me so much!

Very useful - Most appreciated.

Greta video thank you. I bought a cal 1481 stainless back in 2000 for $150. Loved it and wore it proudly until I dropped it and it broke open and the pieces got all scattered. I just found one that looks identical - cal1022 gold plated with the large link gold band for $550. A lot more than my old stainless, but I really like the band. It reminds me of python snake scales. Am I crazy 🤷‍♂️ who knows.

Had my geneve restored. Its an elegant watch. Makes me feel happy when im wearing it. I dare not wear it more than two days per week due to its age.

I have a non automatic Genève, great design and i love to wear it. It has a problem with setting the time in that the crown slips when setting the time. .

I found your film very interesting and informative, at the time of watching I had already bought a Geneve which was in the post on it's way to me. I'm no Omega expert but do have experience buying vintage watches, seeing your film reaffirmed for me I had done everything correctly to ensure my final choice was good. Despite this there is still a little trepidation that all will be well, we know that the buying of vintage watches can be a minefield. A little luck on one's side is always good as well. I am now the proud owner of a Geneve ref. 166.070 cal 565 and couldn't be happier with it. In mint condition, clean and unmolested with all original parts including a signed crystal. A truly beautiful watch and glad to know that they are becoming more collectable because they are an Omega classic.

One of my Geneve has a cal 613 hard to get some parts, my other Geneve has a cal 1012 I think is great movement no problems at all.

I like Geneves without a lume, so it doesn't deteriorate - just steel and black paint.

Cal. 600 series is a part ot the 500 series, without the rotor. I have 601, and that is the one I like the most.

Hi Tim, thank you for this useful guide. Do you think is worth considering to buy a NOS Geneve? Seems like there are unworn old stock ones around.

Very helpful, thanks! I brought a 1971 model with Black dial plate lately. Compare to my other Omega Constellation, is the pureness & simplicity. It is a everyday wearing piece of watch.

I'm thinking I should have watched this BEFORE I bought a Geneve... eh well it wasn't expensive I guess it will be ok. Thanks Tim.

Great video, man! I subbed. :)

Danke für den Beitrag.

thanks for all the infos, are they all waterproof?

This was your first video? Great work

Oh my! There seem to be dozens of different models that are called "Genève," including one that looks like a TV set! Searching for the reference, or for "565" is helpful. The black and blue dials seem to be almost always "refinished." and even if very nicely done, they look like glossy black paint and lack the subtle texture of the original. Today, in December 2019, ebay prices range from US$400 to $2700! Chrono24 is mostly more expensive. What's the advantage of buying there?

Good guide. Geneve also comes with a 601 hand-wound movement - how it compares to 565?

Would you like a new old stock 73 genieve cal 1020

Hi. I was very interested in your presentation as I was given a Geneve in 1978 by my father for my birthday (I won't say which one) and I have never known much about it. I had it serviced by a lady in Sydney about 8 years ago and I believe her to be very reputable after looking at her workshop and getting to know her a little. She had a preofessional demeanour lacking in others I talked to and was trained soemwhere in Europe. I am considering getting it serviced now, but sometimes I wonder if the cost of servicing is worth it when compared to the value of the watch and my available budget. However, I know far more about my watch now, even though mine is gold, which I prefer to the stainless ones as it looks warmer in appearance. Also, the watch maker showed me the movement and I remember it being more beautiful than the one in this watch. I have often wondered about it over the years and this has been the first source of information I have found about it. Thank you. It was generous of you to provide this information.

Morning Tim........can you advise what the two "T"s at the bottom of the dial indicate please ??

I feel upmarket with my 1968 OMEGA GENEVE on and she's my weekend watch and with her being a manual I wind her with pleasure being an OMEGA GENEVE no way is this baby coming to work

Great video! I'm thinking of buying manual wind Geneve with caliber 601. What do you think about that movement?

These seem to be skyrocketing in value recently. I finally got my 1974 Geneve back from service done in Bienne. Bad news: despite the fact that I declined it, they replaced the original tritium dial/hands. Good news: I get to keep the old parts. They showed me a faded, slight ring of rust under the dial - is there a way to restore and reuse the original dial, or would this cause mechanical issues eventually?

Hey everyone, I'm just wondering one thing about the Geneve: Is the gold dial the same as the champagne dial or are they different colours?

Great video, by the way , do you collect vintage Seiko? @Caseback Watches

I just got one off an eBay auction for 150€ But without the strap. Lets see if it will be a surprise when it arrives

Looking to buy a 1969 Omega Geneve for $524 US. 565 movement, and original crown, in very good condition. Do you think that’s a good price?

voce é brasileiro :) Tenho um Geneve e adoro ele...feliz natal

Hey Tim! I have found a geneve I would like to buy, however i really do not know anything about watches. I would like to ask your opinion on it, is there a way to contact you ?

Hello, Ive found a 1955 Omega Geneve caliber 511 on Etsy but it doesn't have a second hand, is this normal for this particular watch? Thanks :o)

Cool to wear a lesser watch when you have a very nice omega there. You don't want to wear the better companies watch and look too put together .

Omega 🇨🇭🌏🇮🇶💪🙂👍روووووووووووعة

Hi, why is this watch so.cheap. I imagine when purchased in the 60s, it must have cost a fair bit, being an omega and all. I have come across one within my grandfathers old belongings, at a worth of only say 400 euros, the restoration and servicing costs will easily outstrip the sale value
