Watching this watch on ebay, quite interested due to gilt hand and suveran look dial but watch case carry reference 2605-1 which dates to 1951 but serial number (11779633) dates to 1947. Is this a franken?

 

Serial number lists for Omega are less accurate the farther back you go. I have a watch that one source says 1910 by serial and another source says 1917 by when the very rare movement was introduced.

I think 11.7 million reference is just fine with 1951. I use this table and find it very useful:

But I don't quite see why/how you date the case exactly to 1951.

 

Its this ck2605 year reference from Omega website.

Thanks for the replies, ill see how the bidding ends

 

Dial seems small for this reference, do you have a photo with the bezel in place?

 

Dial size fine to my un-informed mind,

I didn't end up bidding though.

 

Wrong dial for the case as I suspected. This gap should not be there, the dial should come all the way to the edge of the bezel.
