·Up for grabs is a 2998-2 Speedmaster, August 31,1960 extract with delivery to the US Army Foreign Exchanges
Dial/Hands: Original and correct 2998-2 dial (A4 style from MWO), with short minute counter subdial indices. It’s a very and even black, lume plots have nice patina. Original lume barely lights up in a couple very small spots under UV. I get a reading of 5 uSv/h on an inexpensive Geiger counter. White hands may have been repainted at some time over their life and show marks from removal/reassembly, but match the patina of the watch nicely.
Case: Straight lug symmetrical case has been polished in the distant past. Case shows wear/scratches/dings, but nothing deep or that seems out of place I would pick out that doesn’t match the overall patina. Case back has a nice hippocampus and good threads. Omega replacement crystal.
Bezel: Worn/Ghost Base 1000 DON (rare) that I purchased from a trusted forum member. When I purchased the watch it had a later replacement.
Movement: 321 looks to be in good condition, service history unknown. It winds smoothly and keeps good time, chrono functions work.
Bracelet/Strap: Sold head only, no strap or bracelet is included
Accessories: Omega Extract Of The Archives showing US Army Foreign Exchange Delivery.
I am asking $14,700 US shipped worldwide via FedEx with Parcel Pro. Payment accepted via wire. I'm located in Chicago (USA).
