poor plots, wrong bezel.

the incorrect size pushers would make me question the "Omega Service Centre" that did all that work.

A link for a goldfish like me would be helpful

Ask, receive.

Edit: this one was originally listed at £17,500 but didn't sell and was then relisted at £16,500. Maybe on superlative it would sell for that much..

The question is what the final sale price was, I'm fairly sure it wasn't the full 19.5, and that's even from a biased 105.002 owner like myself.

I'm curious too. I wanted that watch but asking was 2x perfect condition price.

Interesting. More than what I would have paid.
I thought the 2998-2 is supposed to have a DO90 bezel?

I wonder what those would sell for today?

I think the question with the -2 here is it has a base1000 bezel that is NOT DON (the ones I own and have seen are both base1000 and DON).

@MSNWatch, which one is not DON?

This is the one in the le-monde-edmond article..

Is that not DON?

Edit:

here's the one from the ebay listing

and here's the one from Superlative (which is actually a 105.002)

So the base 1000 bezels are DON90?

If one of you master collectors would just sell me one of your 2998's, I'll stop asking silly questions. You'd think i'm joking.
