Omega Bumper CK 2637 - 49/54 , re-painted, wrong case back and crown?

plastilina · Nov 14, 2022

Hello.. I would appreciate if you advise me which pieces are not or are original (re-painted, wrong case back and crown).
I have doubts about the ck2637 having lume dots like the ck2635.
I found this one that is the same model but with a two-tone dial and no lume.
Both this and mine have a different crown than the photo on the omega site.

I'd like to see you browse and purchase your next vintage watch here on this forum's for sale section. It's a much safer bet. 👍

Hands are wrong length as they pass the indices. Arabic numbers are too close to edge. I think redial. Lugs look polished.
May not be correct crown, not sure.
Movement is dirty/dull.

hands are probably ok. in the original dial the printed markers are set between the applied markers. Look at other examples.

obviously the lume at the ends of the applied hour markers are missing. There may have been lume inside the numerals.

Ok thanks, so redial with bad marker placement. Should the hands be no lume because no T with siss made and no lume on dial?

The hands may be correct. The watch is far too old to have a "T", it would have been a radium dial. In any case, the dial was refinished and the SWISS MADE is in the wrong location, so you can't go by anything printed on the dial. The lume would have been in the small holes at the outer ends of the applied markers for sure, and possibly on the dial near the applied numerals. It was removed when the dial was refinished.
