    Hello all.

    So this one, which is 37mm and powered by a cal 23.4, is accompanied by an extract from Omega suggesting it is a CK2064. The extract includes both the movement and case number, and references the model as a Naiad Medicus.

    I have always seen this particular model, at this size, referenced as a CK859.

    Thoughts? Have others seen this one as a CK2064? Is the extract incorrect, or would it instead suggest that the movement started in a CK2064 and ended up in a CK859.

    Thanks.

    DG

    @dmgreen11 think you’re onto something here about the movement being trasplanted.

    When this watch first hit the market in Italy, the lack of the ball-shaped counterpoise threw me (being a medicus), but a prodigious member here said this could very well be authentic being a black dial version.

    The reference number and the price kept me at bay on this one. At a much lower price a donor movement wouldn’t bother me too much. I mean, look at that dial!

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    What is interesting is that the extract references both the movement and the case number. Wouldn't that suggest that this movement was "born" inside of this case, or are Omega's extracts not accurate to that extent?

    @Archer @mac_omega or @Tire-comedon might know whether the movement number would take precedence over the case number when Omega pulls an extract on a watch from the 30’s.
