    Got this vintage Omega today, sorry didnt manage to make pictures in daylight (the dial looks much better in natural light), the price was 100 $ seemed reasonable to me so I bought it. Everything is in pretty good shape, the numbers match up and I like the size. Any info on the age possibly model ?

    The serial number dates it to 1939-ish. I think you did fine for $100 since the parts alone would be worth that or more.

    Interesting. Looks like a redial. Isn't the bezel missing? What size?

    Perhaps a partly restored dial? Do not think any bezel missing?
    I am sure we will have some expert advice on that within very soon.

    Dial is an older redial, and I agree with Tire-comedon that the bezel is missing.

    However, that looks like a very original cal. 30 movement, so it's worth the amount paid for sure,

    Didnt know it is a redial, but i kinda like the roman numbers, here is the daylight shot with a leather strap. The size of the watch is 4 cm diameter with crown.

    OK, bezel is there.
    It looks like a CK 2097, here in the 1940 catalog (according to this picture yours could even have an original crown) :

    Could you check if it has a 37.5mm diameter?


    Same kind of very thin bezel as on the Naiad chantilly ref CK 2063 with a 23.4SC :

    Thank you very much for the catalogue scan ! It fits the size of CK 2097 the case and crown is identical.
    Just wondering how the original dial would have looked like, but i am satisfied with the redial to :)
