    Hey guys! I would like some help identifying a watch my grandfather had left for me before he passed away.
    I had it in for a service at a local watchmaker who cleaned it and changed out some broken parts since it was not running. I got the ref number and serial number but have not been able to find what kind of watch it is , and would love to get some help.
    Much love Axel.
    Ref number 2639-6
    Serialnumber 13051594
    Cal.285

    Somewhere around 1952
    Eric, @efauser already gave you a bunch of good info :thumbsup:. It is a CK639. They did not have model names like the Seamaster or Speedmaster, they were just branded as manual wind watches.
    Either your watchmaker made a mistake or the movement has been swapped out which would be a bigger problem. Take a picture of the inside of the watch if you'd like to confirm this.

    The watch has a similar dial to my Seamaster. Yours is a little bit older than mine and was produced in the early 1950s.

    I don't think the movement can be a 285 as that has centre seconds and your watch clearly has a seconds sub dial
