    That’s not too bad then, not like any of us live our life to the second so having a rough idea what time it is is all most of us need.

    It is indeed a Omega Geneve circa 1973 mechanical movement and remarkable thin in profile too for a movement watch !

    I've got an Omega seamaster from mid 60s, and weirdly for such a plain watch, strangers often recognise it's an Omega, they have very unassuming dials, but even from far away they have that Omega look to them. I do like a 36mm watch, hate the big 42mm one's popular today.

    Big pockets to, retail is around the £22k mark but they reckon they'll be changing hands on the grey market for more than double that.
