    hey hey,

    I keep stumbling across the later variants of these little bumpers, but was wondering if anyone here had a nice original CK2577/cal 350... That's not the below museum piece!

    image.jpeg

    I know they're small... But also very cool... And seemingly hard to find.

    Are there alternatives in the same case that are worth a look?

    Any buying info/guidance most appreciated.

    I saw, and I liked... I maybe like the dateless models a little more. :)

    There's also no money in the watch fund right now - so speculatively gathering information. :whistling:

    I'm sort of a fan of the 2577;)
    I like the beefy lug version the best!
    Here is one I picked up recently in pretty rough shape.

    2577.
    I try to find them with 354's as opposed to 351's.

    That 12 marker... You're sure this isn't a Transformer of some sort?

    I assume that the picture doesn't relate to the watch that 'you picked up recently in pretty rough shape' as it's my watch and arm:D

    I am so sorry for the mistake! I meant to post mine. I love yours and saved the image with mine as they are so similar! I have corrected the post. No disrespect to your watch. My rough comment was because mine was not running.

    Absolutely no problem, I guessed it was something like that, I just thought I was going mad for a moment, it looked so like my watch not to mention my sun damaged arm!

    Bought it as a potential parts donor, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

    I bought one of Omegastar's beefy lugged Seamasters a while ago.

    Flipped it along with a golden Connie for a Longines Conquest Deluxe. Nice piece though. I like the stalwart design.

    Inquiring about your statement. Is the 354 a more refined movement?

    The only difference is that the cal. 354 has a swan's neck regulator with a finer method of adjustment. It was considered a big improvement at the time.

    Some cal. 354 movements were chronometer rated and used these Ref. 2577 cases.
