: I bought a "new" Omega Genéve today. It's gold plated
: and in mint conditions, same as the day it was made. It's got
: pull-push date setting and the buckle on the leather strap also
: has the Omega logo on it. According to the previous owner, who
: never used the watch, it's a 1958 model. How can I make sure
: about this? Seeing that the watch was never worn, will it be
: better to have it serviced now?

After your Rolex fiasco, you now want help from us "Soap Opera" Omega fanboys? You got some nerve. If you want some help from us, I suggest you set the record straight with your "real" story and apologize to the group for your behavior. Im all for second chances, just no more BS about Jags and Armani suits.
As for the watch, open the caseback and get the #s from the inside the cover and get the Serial # off the watch movement and we can tell you what year it was produced, provided you help yourself a little by the aforementioned apology. And yes, if you are not sure what the service history is of the watch, best to have it serviced now. After that itll be good to have it serviced every 5 years or so, depending on how much you wear it.
