we know it’s had at least one service from the service marks under one lug
Well I’m not to sure about this statement “because it has numbers on the lug it has seen a service” to be honest. It has had a service based on the crown but I believe the marks to be a reseller inventory serial mark of some sort. I have seen this on multiple Swedish sold Speedmaster’s from that time. For instance the Bukowskis 2915-1 that is often referenced has it as well. Here is a pic of it. I also added one from my 105.012-66.


Swedish 105.012-66


And as for the lume on the Skåne watch, it looks original besides the spots.

By the way the Bukowskis serial is just 4 numbers after this one.

Well I did not notice that leakage - is that your own photo?
I must say that would make me think it had some adjustment - if we look at the auction photo here I can’t see that leakage



Which just goes to show how important it is to view a watch like this if you are going in hard.

at the estimate though it could be missing the dial entirely and I would still buy it
It is the third to last image.

It's seen on watches from other countries too and to my knowledge it's not proved to be this or that. Here's one bought new in Greenland:





In regard to the Skåne watch - I see there's an Extract From The Archives - have it been there from the start, or is it "speedy" work from Bienne? 😀

It was there from the beginning.

@Pahawi , not really sure about your question, but regarding the EoA, it was the auction house that did it, and almost immediatly after they
found out how interesting the watch was..

I must have missed it the first time I some days ago looked at the listing. Today I saw it, and since I never miss anything 🙄 I thought it might have been added later - sorry.

I see that the 2915 was ‘withdrawn’ from the Monaco Legends auction.

no expert here but I think I see some relume... I've handled quite a few vintage pieces in my time and I haven't seen that texture of radium on a 2915 that clean before...
