Ultra Rare Untouched 1960 Omega 2998-4 Original Bracelet and Box

From my personal collection. Here is a 2998-4 in unbelievable condition! These just don't come up for sale often -- and this one is in better condition than most 2998's out there. I purchased this watch from the estate of the original owner about 10 years ago. The family told me the owner only wore it on 'special occasions'. In the 10 years I've had it I have worn it about half a dozen times (only on really special occasions)!

Dial: Original condition dial has a lovely aged patina on markings and hands.
Hands: Correct pointed hour and seconds hands.
Bezel: Correct bezel with "dot over 90" in and accent over "Tachmetre". This bezel is in spectacular condition - theres a scuff around the 220 mark - otherwise its pretty clean. Usually these are all scuffed up.
Case: Beautiful crisp condition with very few scuffs or deep scratches and straight lines.
Case-Back: Crisp sea-horse / sea serpent on the back. Inside case-back are all correct markings and watchmakers service dates and NAWCC numbers.
Movement: Lovely clean Omega 321 Chronograph. Serial number 17,765,XXX Serial number dates this watch to 1960. Inside the original dust cover is in place.
Crown: Has Omega logo.
Crystal: Aftermarket crystal is perfect. I have the original crystal and spring-bars. Original crystal has the embedded omega logo in the center of the crystal (pictured)
Band: Original 161 Band (Jan 1961?)
Box: Original box "BOX MADE IN SWIZERLAND" and "FAB SUISSE"

Watch runs and keeps great time. All functions operate properly. Chronograph hands snap back to 12 as they should. Last serviced in 2012 so it may need service at any time... Sold AS-IS - NO RETURNS

Asking $34,990 USD - Certified Check Only - Will ship FEDEX when funds clear

The box is a nice touch

 

very true! I was really lucky to find one with the box. Incredibly, I saw one of these red boxes sell a couple months ago on eBay for almost $2000! Unreal...

 

*** Update *** We may have this one sold. If deal doesn't go through it goes to eBay this weekend. Will keep the forum posted!

 

too bad that pics were removed ...

 

and the price.

 

He's done it several times. Against the rules, and douchy to boot

 

Was adking 35,000

 

Really sorry guys. The buyer asked me to take down the post for privacy reasons. Wasn't being douchy.. it was a sizable transaction and I was just following his wishes. I didn't know it was against forum rules. My apologies... Please dont jump to conclusions without knowing the details of why I removed it .
