Impressive condition will command a heavy ticket...
Have you asked for their price?

It even comes with papers... But judging by the time it has already been on their site (months by now), I am suspecting this isn't a bargain. 😉

No - probably in the six figure CHF range. This is the epitome of what @Bill Sohne would say - try to find another one.

Looks beautiful but bearing in mind the recent history with high val Speedmasters, how would you establish bona fides? It looks great but the uniform hand dial pumpkin match gives me pause and makes my Spidey sense twinge.

Certainly a concern plus the hour hand looks more like something you would see on a 2915-3 than a 2998-1. That being said matching lume of both dial and hands are not unusual in nicely preserved examples.
