#1 and #4 look good to me.



Not replaced ... repainted. Honestly, it's very common in watches from that era.

For example? What details do you see in the "2635 - Bumper" to realize so easily that it was repainted. I am impressed by your knowledge. My doubt in that watch was always in the crown.

The printing of OMEGA and AUTOMATIC is wrong, SWISS printed in wrong location, misaligned and misplaced minute markers, missing lume dots, etc. After a while, refinished dials just jump out at you.

I'm surprised to learn that #1 is an original dial. That's an interesting one that I've not seen before.

I feel the same, but I am in no way an expert and trust the verdict of more experienced members here.
This thread reminded me of a watch I passed on some 5 years ago due to its size (33mm), but probably shouldn't have in retrospect.

Glad to hear. I wasn't happy with the price at that time, but would you be so kind to share what else is wrong with it?

(sorry to the OP for the unexpected, temporary derail)

My message to the DeRailer: No, you should not have left it out. You should have bought it.

Two correct 2635s.

The printing of OMEGA and AUTOMATIC is wrong, SWISS printed in wrong location, misaligned and misplaced minute markers, missing lume dots, etc. After a while, refinished dials just jump out at you.

Totally..! Now it's obvious to me. Thank you very much for your time and sharing your knowledge.

My omega is CK 2637 instead of CK2635. Check this: https://vintagewatchrestoration.com...one-golden-dial-cal-354-bumper-automatic-35mm The difference with my watch is the two-tone dial. Prints are in the same places

Coming from a website named "Vintage watch restoration", I must admit I'm not surprised. 😗
