Hello everyone, I want to share another watch in my collection. I think it was rare to find this reference, plus the condition of this watch (in my opinion).
First of all, thank you @Dr No and @Bill Sohne for the opinion about this watch via PM.

This watch is one of only 5000 made in this model (CK2514)
(mentioned in www.omegawatches.com).


Omega reference CK2514 (caseback shows Reference 2514-2), waffle dial, 4-line version with “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED”, “TRE” in word “CHRONOMETRE”.

In addition, applied “omega” logo, dauphine hands (hour and minute), “railtrack” minute marker, plus “SWISS MADE” at 6 o’clock.

The caliber was 343 (17 jewels adjusted five positions).
Serial number 12,068,418 (production year 1950), Diameter of case 33mm (exclude crown).

I think it got “original” railtrack and waffle dial, hands, caseback, also crown.
Moreover, I think the hour markers were made from “Pinkgold” ( because the color looks different when compare to my yellow gold markers on another watch)



I found another watch with this reference in this forum.

In that post, @gatorcpa found 2 watches with this reference (pics and link attached below)

Also, I found the 18k with “4-line version“ from @rtanchan in this forums. It looks legit watch.

I compare some pictures of the dial and movement.



Finally, I found another one with “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED “ but fully restored sub-seconds dial. Conversely, “TER” but not “TRE” (link was attached here):

From my research, my watch was the first one (in this ref. CK2514) with original beautiful “waffle dial”, also the first one (in this ref.) with “railtrack minute marker”.

Thank you and appreciate for your feedback or comment.
Again, so sorry for my bad English.

Best regards,

A stunning watch. Thanks for sharing.

 

Wow

 

I can smell the maple syrup- spectacular waffle indeed!

 

Good research and beautiful dial

 

Nice score and very well presented

 

Ooh, nice!

 

That is a beautiful example. Waffle dials are really spectacular and yours is pristine. Hell of a scar on your arm.

 

So thank you for all of your kindness comment.

 

The case diameter was 33mm (excluding crown)
and 34.5mm (including crown)

 

I’m sorry to be the only one to say it but that is 100% fake. You can dispose of it by sending it to my address in your private message.

Joke aside, that is a gorgeous watch! I love these waffle dials!

 

Nice try dude.

 

Mwahahaha

 

Cool, can't go wrong with SS and gold furniture waffle

 

Beautiful

 

Love the watch and the amount of research you put into it. Wear it in good heath.

 

After waiting for so long, finally I could find the duo.


This watch just showed in this thread. https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-waffle-honeycomb-show-and-tell.166398/page-2

As discussed with the owner, @Rasputin, he mentioned that it’s the 18k, PG.
I’m still waiting to see his movement picture.

 

Awesome. Congratulations!!

 

Was gonna write “absolutely stunning watch” then I saw you double and need to change to watches!

 

Thanks for your comment @gilb12 and @Kraal90
