Up for sale is a lovely, vintage Omega Geneve from the late 70's. My neighbour purchased this watch in the UK around 1982 and soon after emigrated to Canada. After several moves, the box and papers are gone, but the watch remains. It sat unworn for many years in his drawer until he sold it to me about a year and a half ago.
I purchased a replacement bracelet as the original was too short for my 8" wrist. The original bracelet, clasp and case attachment ring is included.
I had the watch serviced by my local watchmaker in the spring of 2020 and it is keeping good time.
It's a beaut, but needs to move.

$1300CAD shipped.

My jeweller isn't one for creating large documents about what services he performed, but here is the receipt for the service in Sept. of 2019. That means the service was 1 year and 4 months ago.
The watch had a full overhaul then and has not been worn since. It has been on a watch winder on and off over the months to give it some movement.

Price dropped to $1000 + shipping or offers close to that.

I have this as an $800 Buy it Now auction on eBay, but you could get it at a much lower price through the auction as well as there are 5 days left and it's at $425. PM me for details.
