    Hi,
    I just wanted to share those three new watches that I added today in my collection.

    The first one was found at a Watch fair.
    It is a 23.4SC ref MI 2089, in staybrite steel, from around 1941 :

    Here in a 1940 catalog :

    The second one is a 26.5 SOB T3 ref from around 1943. When I saw it, I immediately bought it because it is in a very good condition and I love those unusual numerals :

    I am not sure of the reference for this one. Found it in this 1943 Swiss catalog :

    It could be a ref CK2082, here in a 1939 catalog. The lugs shape looks identical, however the bezel seems wider on the catalog picture than on the Watch I bought...) :

    The third one was delivered by the post office when I was at the Watch fair. It is a 19.4 T2 Marine ref CK 679 from around 1938, bought from Kyle on the forum :

    Here is this model in a French catalog from 1939 :

    and in a 1937 Italian catalog :

    It is the second CK679 I have, the difference being that this one has the 'striped' case, a special modification on the case made by a French distributor.
    Here are the two cases side by side :

    The Marine is a special one, being a divers :) that second one is a beauty, and the first is another classic. Your photos and insight of your collection always brings a smile to my face @Tire-comedon :)

    I'm glad you got the Marine safely and that it went to a good home. I love the salmon dial on the first 2089. :)

    Congrats @Tire-comedon, it's always a pleasure to see your beautiful purchases, especially when they have a salmon dial. :p

    By the way, I (very unexpectely) also got a 1940s Omega at the same watch fair -- under duress from a pal who fished it out for me... (will post it in a separate thread).

    All the best,
    S
