I found this watch in my drawer... anyone appreciate this brand?
It feels quite flimsy, so I'm wondering if it is original or some sort of early franken watch...

I would put the quality at the top level, it's an old company with a long history.calvinktlim wrote: ↑March 30th, 2021, 4:25 am I found this watch in my drawer... anyone appreciate this brand?

Many of these have passed my bench, easy to service and very reliable.

Just curious but what are they worth these days? I think I got it for about USD500 some years back (was expensive to me then) but was disappointed with it.

Re: Universal Geneve watch i found in my drawer
It appears to be in a good condition and the black dial is not that common, so I would say that you could expect $600-$700.calvinktlim wrote: ↑March 30th, 2021, 7:18 am Just curious but what are they worth these days?

Over on Omega Forum or The Rolex Forum TRF there is a Universal Geneve thread, You might review those perhaps yours is worth more as the condition looks excellent
