    Has a badly restored dial though!
    And I am not confident if the serial## match - based on my comparison possibilities.
    I would not buy unless archives say "GO"

    This looks fine!

    But the one on ebay is a put together watch ( serial# of movement is much too low! this movement originates from a different watch) with a non correct re-done dial.

    Achim,

    I respect your knowledge in this field of Omega collecting but I must respectfully disagree.
    I owned 2 of these CK 2042 which had both higher serial## than the one on ebay and both had swapped movements from earlier simple 26.5 models.
    So I sold them off... Have still 2 Omega confirmed pieces with much higher serial##
    kind regards
    ERich

    erich, that is the beauty of our hobby. nothing for granted..... erich, cal. 26,5 T 2 small second was created 1934 nd did continue till 1950. there is a wide range of numbers. T2 small subsecond without parachoc (which is T3) is around 1936-1940. so this number is possible. just my 2 cents... kind regards. achim
