Well, not much of teasing for those who will instantly recognize the characteristic shape of this watch...
I'll reveal the flip side when I can do justice to its beauty. It is a watch that is quite difficukt to take in picture. Will need to buy a new camera, sometime next month

The clues are on the picture, my friend
My lips are sealed (for a while) Oh, but wait, don't I discern traces of a crenelated turning bezel? One of my FEW dream watches!(NT) Please, Nico, please give me a break, will you? Best. Ztirual
Well, I am also seeing a typical case back, and these not less typical long lugs.
I can smell a 6542. Please, remove this damn seal from your Patek lips. A break? Me? to you? No way! All the best. Nicolas.
OK Nico, you win, now revealing it in all its splendour
or not quite yet. But I think I have show enough, for now. Une montre qui ne court pas les rues. Best. Ztirual...
Dial dial dial!!! Please! Can't believe it!!!
Did you get it from an italian dealer? I was on this one, too! This is the 8th watch I miss since the beginning of this year. Unbelievable series. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-03-27 12:57:19
Dear Nico,
I sent you last night a long pm in french or thought I had, as it turned out that the message was never sent and I cannot find any trace of it now. I am fuming as this is not the first time it happens using watchprosite pm function. I must have done somet...
In this case, it was not too diificult, my friend.
As there are not too many CK 2042 for sale... Thanks for the nice words, Ztirual. My chance will turn, soon, I hope! Best, Nicolas
I think...
Hi Nico, I think you are on the right trace... patience my friend - maybe some time I will part with one of mine... best regards erich
One of yours???
Which means that you have several??? That would be a privilege to have one coming from you! Best, Nicolas
Hi Erich, and I thought I was teasing...
now you declare 'several' ck 2042 and post 'no' pictures? Can we beg for one picture or two, well 2 pictures per watch? Teasing pictures are fine- as a matter of fact, better for our friend Nico Best. Ztirual.
To clarify...
Hi Ztirual, to clarify: I never told I had several - it was Nico´s assumption only... Actually I do not have several, only 2 - could not afford more Here is a picture of one of them Enjoy! Nico, please forgive me! It was Ztirual who insisted on a picture!...
here is the brother....note the difference in the bezel.....
and another model with enamel dial: kind regards. achim...
Thanks Achim
for posting pictures of you 2 nice pre-war Omega pilot watches. Very interesting comment you make there about the subtle variation in relation to the the bezel. Take the digit number 3 on the 2 bezels for instance, it is plain to see that one is rounded w...
Two is plenty!
No need to apologize, Erich, two is plenty! Many thanks for posting one of your beauties. Does your other watch have the same bezel configuration? I notice slight differences with Achim's watch and mine, for example in the size and font of the arabic nume...
Really, Z . . .
. . . posting photos in this manner is like placing scraps of fresh beef just out of reach to a chained lion! Have you no pity on poor Nicolas? Tsk, tsk ;-) . . .
erich, your lume marker at 12 o´clock is missing...... and , as far as i know,....
the numerals on the bezel had lume as well. and there should be a engraved dot behind the 6 on the bezel, filled with lume as well. kind regards. achim
I not so sure
about the engraved dot at 6, Achim... There might have been a dot originally beside the 6 marker on the bezel but not engraved. My watch has rest of lumes but only at 12 where has has been protected by the pointed arrow. I have examined the bezel and I ca...
I am not sure I understand
Hello KCKL, I am not sure I understand your post. Do you mean that a gentleman posting on this forum has bought one of Omega's reeditions of this pilot watch (form Omega's Museum collection)? As far as my watch is concerned, well, I do indeed hope it is a...
Hi ztirual. My apologies for causing misunderstanding.
I dont doubt yours not being original. What I meant was VMM another forum member bought the re-issued which is nice and yours is the vintage. I mentioned "could be original vintage" cos i could not see the dial of yours. Regards
these are all superb examples
and really show the history Omega have with flight and the military. i look forward to seeing yours when you are ready to show it to us ztirual and its great to see everyone elses. hard to believe the condition after 70-80 years. i always loved the model ...
Yes, will post more later
as, as stated, I need to invest in a new camera. Thanks for showing your appreciation, Graham. Just as you I am flattered that Erch and Achim have kindly followed suit and posted pictures of their own watches. Best. Z'
