Omega/Universal Geneve
$3 Thrift Store find. Can't wait to have it serviced and new strap/crystal. So much fun finding a little gem in the junk stores my wife dragged me around all day on Saturday...

UPDATE:
New crystal and thorough cleaning (haven't serviced the movement yet). Needs a new band (preferably black). Not too bad for a $3 thrift store find (we won't be talking about the $50 I spent trying to find the correct replacement crystal...). Before: UG 2_1.jpg After: Uniiversal Geneve_1.jpg |

That’s awesome!
I told my wife I’m excited to do a little thrift store watch hunting once I’m fully vaccinated. |
