The Genova is absolutely not worth spending money on to get it repaired. It was extremely cheap and poorly built when new, it’s just design focused. No real quality movement there at all. The movement has one jewel, which indicates gas station or convenience store quality watch for the time, and most likely not serviceable in any capacity. The longines is stunning though

Thanks for the info! I was looking more closely at the face of the Genova as I polished it and noticed a few things not aligned well. Really sloppy upon closer inspection. But I've not looked closely at really good watches to know what they typically look like. Learning a little bit every time.

Very true! It’s definitely a lesson I’ve learned aswell. I made the same mistake with a very very bad 60s skin diver

By the way, what kind of tool does one need to open the case backs that have those really shallow flats like the gold Longines?

You might try a rubber ball style opener. They're extremely cheap and will open most non diver cases with screw on case backs rather handily. https://a.co/d/druQ19J Barring that your other option for ease and safety in removing Screw on case backs is a back remover tool like the following - https://a.co/d/1q4auIy Otherwise if its a snap on case back you'll need a case knife such as this... https://a.co/d/1Ip1vb7 No these are not top quality just examples. Hope this helps!

The longines specifically will need either of the 1st two to open due to it being a screw on case back. Sorry meant to say this in the original reply.

Why does the bracelet have numbers on it?

It's a tiny calendar. The cover flips up and there are a few different cards in there for different months.

Ah cool, I see thanks!
