    I wonder what is 2915 about this watch. Maybe the case? Dial, hands and bezel are definitly not.

    It's certainly not described accurately. "Original dial in excellent condition showing some patina"... hmmm

    it is a nice later 2998 dial not less and not more. I would say a dial like this is 2-4 k and the correct late 2915 dial in this condition is 10-12k (and probably not findable within reasonable time).

    Project watches are "fun" in our 4 wall,but this disease start to get epidemic and effect credibility of members and collectors which propagate this type of garage hobby, and use influence in community to charge them by "COLLECTOR" gradations watches,and sleep well.

    Oh no....you don't get to waltz in here and get an explanation straight away. That would be most unfair.

    You go to the back of the que and scratch your head along with the rest of us, who have been baffled for some time.

    Google "formal thought disorder" and it makes sense. Well, that's my theory.

    It just goes to show what happens when you use Google translate to go from one language to another and then use it again to translate from that language to Bollocks.

    I don't see any reason to suspect the movement isn't correct for a 2915-3. It is very possible that the watch was serviced in its early life and the dial and hands were replaced. And I'm sure most of you know the bezels on these were notorious for falling off and disappearing. With that bracelet, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it reaches the low end of that estimate, over 30k usd.

    It's a sad reality that every time I see a 2915 listing, my first reaction before opening the thread is "I wonder if this one actually has any original parts on it"

    me too :D
    It is all about arithmetics: There were never many, they went for little money so non of the early owners had a special eye on them, they were designed as working horses and suddendly they became icons of a whole generation of famous Speedmasters, suddenly many people want one and many are willing to pay a lot, but not so many people know all the details to judge what they get. Isnt this tempting for dealers to boost a little the supply? ::stirthepot::::stirthepot:::)

    I think plenty of people (especially those in the market to buy a 2915) know most of the details as to what is or isn't original, but the fact remains that there aren't any of them for sale, so those who want a 2915 must either buy what is offered, (almost never) or wait for their dream watch, which will likely cost 150k or more in a year or two. We may need to accept that non-perfect examples of 2915s are worth a lot of money if they have most of the correct parts. :eek:

    What he is saying is, any notion of reliably extricating horologically obfuscated issues pertaining to originality and provenance affects the perceived veracity of decidedness which eminates from same quest, warping retinally induced temoral lobe induction, thus inducing paradoxical insomnia.

    Comletely WRONG!

    What he says is that any reliably released concepts associated with originality and origin of the problem of clockmaking confusion affect the deterministic authenticity of perception, which derives from the same task that distorts the retina-induced regions of the brain lobes, Contradiction of insomnia
