    Case is a proper Omega case. Dates from the mid-1930's. Movement should be a cal. T-17. Dial kind-of looks original, but doesn't seem to go with the hands, which may have been steel and later painted.

    If it's a runner, it's a keeper.

    Hi,
    I agree with Gator, it's a ref CK986 with a T17 Inside from second half of the 30's.
    Here in a 1936 Swiss catalog :

    Here in a 1940 French catalog :

    Several dial varaiations existed, as always for Omegas from this period, difficult o say on a picture if yours was redone or not. For sure the hands are too short and don't match.
    Both of mine have are from 1935-36 and have, I believe, original radium dial and hands :[​IMG]

    Although they are very close in production (the first one has a case serial 9125XXX and the second 9131XXX) their dials are different.
