    Hi guys,
    Apologies for the quality of the pics. I didnt take them. Is this what they call a “stepped case”? I cant find anything online about this watch. 32mm wide including crown. It looks a bit like some of the older Rolexes. Is this a dress watch or something more exotic?

    Just looked up 2023 and looks like you are quite right. Pity its a bit on the small side as I love the shape of the case....

    I might pick one up if I see one for under £250.

    Well, unless you are talking about the military ref CK2292 with a 30T2 inside (with a light alloy case and staybrite caseback), that's completely new to me for 26.5 SOB Omega watches. I would be interested in seeing a pre 1940 Omega with an aluminum case.

    The OP Watch is a ref CK2023.
    Here in the 1940 catalog :

    Thats actually a really pretty watch. If only it were bigger. How much do these go for? I might add one to my collection if they are one of those overlooked/underrated models.
