·Hello everyone, I want to share another watch in my collection. I think it was rare to find this reference, plus the condition of this watch (in my opinion).
First of all, thank you @Dr No and @Bill Sohne for the opinion about this watch via PM.
This watch is one of only 5000 made in this model (CK2514)
(mentioned in www.omegawatches.com).
Omega reference CK2514 (caseback shows Reference 2514-2), waffle dial, 4-line version with “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED”, “TRE” in word “CHRONOMETRE”.
In addition, applied “omega” logo, dauphine hands (hour and minute), “railtrack” minute marker, plus “SWISS MADE” at 6 o’clock.
The caliber was 343 (17 jewels adjusted five positions).
Serial number 12,068,418 (production year 1950), Diameter of case 33mm (exclude crown).
I think it got “original” railtrack and waffle dial, hands, caseback, also crown.
Moreover, I think the hour markers were made from “Pinkgold” ( because the color looks different when compare to my yellow gold markers on another watch)
I found another watch with this reference in this forum.

In that post, @gatorcpa found 2 watches with this reference (pics and link attached below)

Also, I found the 18k with “4-line version“ from @rtanchan in this forums. It looks legit watch.

I compare some pictures of the dial and movement.
Finally, I found another one with “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED “ but fully restored sub-seconds dial. Conversely, “TER” but not “TRE” (link was attached here):

From my research, my watch was the first one (in this ref. CK2514) with original beautiful “waffle dial”, also the first one (in this ref.) with “railtrack minute marker”.
My wrist shot:
Thank you and appreciate for your feedback or comment.
Again, so sorry for my bad English.
Best regards,
