My earlier answer only addressed the dial, as that was your actual question. To be honest, that dial really interests me - purely from an acedemic point of view. If we're to take the watch as a whole, I think it's safe to say that this was a long term project that the watchmaker was doing. The entire watch is put together. It was probably his own little bit of fun to make himself a "2998-x" from parts he found over the years. Hence the cut off bezel; the mismatched hands; the somewhat polished case ... but, now that these watches are reaching ridiculous price levels, just the parts alone are going to be worth a chunk of change.
