Also this is my fathers, I also have an older geneve that is a lot less chunky that belonged to my grandad, also hand wound. I think its the iteration before this one.

Make a couple searches on Chrono24 to determine price.

>>13533513
Thanks bae

>>13533509
you have some serious issues that need to be dealt with

like serious

>>13533522
care to elaborate my dubs dude

>>13533523
not without looking at the watch

go take it to a watchmaker. if it says fastfix or quickfix

they can't do shit for ya

find a real place

you're looking at $300 to get it running again if you lived in california

$350 if you need a new band


since it looks like it's never been polished in its life you can spring for that, and it wont affect value too mcuh, people dont like to polish to the point where the case loses shape,


if you get a new crystal, service andband take it to a watch dealer that sells vintage watches and try to convince them to give you a free polish while "seriously considering" a couple of their other vintage watches for sale

Aye thanks for the help senpai. Im struggling to find out the age as the slopes where the strap is attached are much more pronounced than any iteration I can see online.

>>13533540

>>13533509

>>13533546

>>13533550
if that's a unitas 6498 i'd buy it

looks to small to be one but idk if your wrsits are huge or not

>>13533552
Na it's a small face. Probably not gonna sell for quite a few years but be nice to know what sort of price I'd be looking at.

>>13533553
no idea, i've been picking up omega dials and slapping them on $30 unitas 6498s for awhile
i pay like $5-14 for the dial


it's pretty much a stowa marine at that point

unitas movts are pretty much the watchmaker school myfirstwatch movement

idk what you watch is and have no interest in it

>>13533559
Yeah I'm struggling to find answers, probably take it to a watch maker and see what they have to say

Time to go strap shopping

>>13533723
Meme Sarb and meme (6 eyelet) AEs... man...

>>13533786
Well memed

Don't you have it fucking polished, O.P. The definition of the case is a large part of its worth.

And again retard OP can't make a proper /wt/. Thanks for moving us to /fa/ mods.

This thread is about the appreciation of watches, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

My Seamaster (1964) set me back £800, so ~$1000

>>13535904
Lol that's my watch and picture

I was cringe, I wore shit like that watch, Ralph Lauren polos and Levi's vintage selvedge jeans on Allen Edmonds in 2009.

Click clacking down the university hallways.


Now I just wear a fitbit, those soft ass polyester shirts from addidas and Uniqlo pants

It's not hella desirable, also case polishing doesn't remove definition getting it polished every 6 months is

He's got bigger issues than case condition like dial alignment

And the movt might be shot

Some people who buy old shit want everything left alone

If you do anything they better not notice

>>13535930
Need to get mine dated really. Was originally my great uncles.
