Help identifying these vintage gems

My vintage obsession continues to grow and I have laid eyes on these two beauties that I'd love to get second opinions on and also knowing which exact model would be nice too - e.g. CK<number>

I'll be going to view them in person tomorrow and will get more photos through that process. I've been told both dial and hands are original.

Cal 26.5T3 - circa 1939 - the closest I could find was a CK859 (sector dial) but couldn't find any other dials that looked identical to this.

Sorry to say, I asses all three as redials. Fonts are wrong and sloppy. Look at the dials - they are all very clean, and vintage watches very selldom appears in this unnatural "clean" look. Also quite heavily polished cases and relumed hands.

Both of them are redialed - even if you are uncertain how to assess fonts etc, the clue is in how clean the supposedly eighty years old dials are. Hands are probably correct though they have been relumed on the second one.

I see a "NOS" claim on one of them, is that correct, @timoci_nz? That's downright lying to the customer's face and would have me avoid the seller completely. Extremely untrustworthy and preying on the less informed.

Yep 'NOS' claim - appreciate the feedback!

Just in case the sellers says "You want to believe a couple of know it alls on the internet?"

Here is another vote.

Both are redialed without doubt in my mind.
