    Hi,
    Here is the last one that entered my collection :
    [​IMG]
    It's a ref CK 2008 with a 26.5 SOB T2 Inside. With its 30.5 mm diameter, it remains a small watch compared to today's standard, but this was the standard at that time.

    Here it is in the Omega 1940 catalog :

    The serial numbers of the case and caliber date it around 1939 :[​IMG]
    (the movement is as I found it, still very dirty. It will have a small cleaning soon!).

    The dial is quite well preserved, although slightly scratched. I love the smaller 0 on the 10 numeral, quite typical of this period.

    wow, a 30.5mm watch! Have you owned any watches at that size before or will this be the first one at that size for you?

    Having just gotten comfortable moving from modern 40mm to more vintage 36mm, I'm just curious if you were exposed to smaller sizes earlier on that helped you be comfortable with a sub 34mm watch.

    Well,defintely not the first one. I am a compulsive accumulator of pre 1950 Omegas, so the vast majority of my watches are 30mm in diameter.
