Hi guys,
I am selling another super sweet Omega, this time a two tone ref. CK 2639-1.
Only for the lovers of some wabi-sabi.
The watch was pretty rough when I bought it but I just loved the look of it.
It was kind of a true barn find.
My watchmaker did a hell of a job saving it. He disassembled the complete movement and cleaned all the parts, replaced a couple parts and screws and brought it back to life. Many many hours of work.

It's running again as a true Swiss watch should. For people who might be frightened by this kind of adventures I assure the movement is good for many years to come. That's why the watch comes with a 12 month guarantee.
I can also show the invoice of the repair costs.

Dial shows some wear ( we can call it patina 😀 ) but for some reason it looks just stunning. The two tone colors change depending on the light and angle. I think my pictures tell everything.

Case is untouched if you ask me. Super sharp and in really good condition. No signs of corrosion.
Inside of the case-back showing all the correct engravings.
Movement super clean.

Original crown with flat feet Omega logo.

Model: Omega ref. CK 2639-1
Year: approx 1950
Size: 36mm
Movement: Cal 265
Serial number: 12174493

I always try to price my watches competitively. I enjoyed the project and now I hope someone else will enjoy the watch. Nevertheless I need to take into account the service costs. I also include a very nice 18mm Hirsch suède strap with Omega 16mm buckle. I will also include a fully insured FedEx shipping.

Price: 975 euro ---> 750 euro ( strap and FedEx shipping included )

Payment: Bank transfer preferred / PayPal possible ( +4% )

Best regards,
Bernard

I have the almost exact same one, same dial layout just a little bit darker, owned previously by my grandfather and father. It is by far the one of my watches that gets the most praise from non-watch entusiasts. Almost every time I wear this at work one or two of my collegues notice it. Just an absolutely incredible watch. The size is also great. GLWS!
