Omega

This Omega ref. CK2013 has a 39 mm steel case and a silver two tone dial with blued hands . It is powered by hand-wound movement Caliber 26.5 . I personally like the Disco Volante design a lot and have dedicated a previous thread to some "Holy Trinity" ex...  

Dial looks great, but need to check out how such case sits on the wrist.

Have always been a fan of the disco volante. Wish I had kept a Patek 2501 I had a while back. In the 80's you could still find NOS. Love your Omega. What great condition in addition to the design. I remember your thread on the holy trinity. Fantastic. May... 

This Omega isn't mine, unfortunately, and the price asked is a little high, but I really like it. The PP 2501 is very nice too ( www.watchprosite.com ), but I think I like the Disco Volante design even more without lugs. Best, Emmanuel

. . . but my sense is that it was cased later, probably early to mid-'40s. Art

And yes, there seems to be a problem with the seconds hand…

Right up my street...

and I would want to see it in real life. But the photos really got me excited. Best, Emmanuel

What do you think?

is €270k if I remember well. Owning a dream comes at a cost!

And I have no regret, because I would never buy a watch without seing it in person. And flying to Heerlen, Netherlands, wasn't on my cards right now ;-) Btw, Bernhard Bulang is a member of our site ("Bullibeer") even if his last visit dates back to 2015!

. . . Euros, both of my brows touched my hairline. 😲 I've been out of touch with the vintage Omega market for awhile now, so I asked Bill Sohne what he thought a good Omega DV should trade hands at. Without explicitly revealing his number, the reported as... 

What conclusions should we draw from this in your opinion? Does it mean that the Disco Volante presented by Bulang wasn't in such a good condition? I've tried to look online for other CK2013s and the very few ones I've seen were priced either slightly abo... 

. . . that an original Omega Disco Volante on eBay auction would fetch around $2K. An extract would push the price slightly higher.

I thought Bill was thinking of a price 5 times higher, not lower and found it hard to understand. Now it makes a lot more sense.

The small seconds dial might be too big in proportion to the whole dial, for me — I would need to see the watch in hand.

Appealing nonetheless for me, but as you say, one would need to see it in real life. Best, Emmanuel

Vintage OMEGA timepieces are drenched in charm 🤩😍

Just on a side mark: the dial looks kind of de-adjusted, seeing your macro of the small seconds.

It probably needs to be serviced... Best, Emmanuel

Thank you for sharing this! I didn't know Omega made a disco volante. The case is clearly the star here, but the hour hand, with its circular aperture, is a such a nice detail. As are the numerals...and the silver dial...I take it back, the whole watch is...

I also think the hidden lugs really add to the overall style and look that make this watch so good. Marc

I would love to own a Disco Volante at some point. Possibly an Audemars Piguet... Best, Emmanuel

The crown is a wrong replacement. You can see it by the different colour, it looks like chromium plated and not steel. And it protudes too far. An original crown must sit flush to the case. These crowns are very hard to find as I experienced myself. I hav...  

My knowledge of these watches is too limited, unfortunately, and judging from photos only is always a challenge. When one considers acquiring such a vintage watch, there’s definitely a lot to learn and search before pulling any trigger. Best, Emmanuel
