I know that anything 2998 has gone out of sight for the most part, but this seems to be taking crazy to a whole new level.

Wow. Seems kinda nuts to me.

 

maybe if a five-year warranty work is included....

 

Small price to pay have an 2915 or 2998 covered under Omega's warranty.

 

Well, with the kind of money people pay for the watches, bracelets, boxes and everything else speedy-related, I think this is totally reasonable and appropriate.

 

Eh.... I'm not even sure that the crater box from the 1969 gold Speedmaster sells for this kind of coin. At $4K I think "reasonable and appropriate" for this are way in the rear-view mirror, and at least three hill-crests back.

 

Seems a waste of money to me, as its not likely gonna add $4k to the value of a watch, since most buyers assume such things are not legit, as is the case with this one. At least by paying $1,500 for a bracelet that does add commensurate value to the watch

 

Boohahahhahaha! LMFAO!

 

Sellers can ask any price they want. Doesn't mean anyone will actually buy the item.

Maybe I'll list my Seiko Pepsi on the sales forum for $25,000. Barking Mad had a listing for a watch he didn't want to sell, but ended up selling anyway. Maybe he was asking too reasonable a price. I can pretty much guarantee nobody will buy some sarcastic squirrel's Seiko at that asking price.

 

Whats the issue, it's NOS

 

More like the seller is inhaling NOS.

 

These items were often disposed of, misplaced or just deteriorated over time. Yet they are still a prized part for those who are looking to complete the Omega 2915/2998 set. Take a look at some Rolex Daytona models, etc which sell for 30 - 50% more with boxes and papers. This book is priced at less than 5% of the cost of a clean 2915... I think it presents a great value. After all, the matching box (damaged) sold on eBay for over $3000 just last month. For those who don't buy (and need/want), you will have to wait 10 years before you find another blank NOS one!

 

As stated above, this booklet came with all Omega watches from the same time period. It isn't unique to the 2915/2998.

 

Ooh, good the seller's here.

 

Yes, I absolutely agree. That is what was stated in the description. However, it correct for the 2915/2998. I don't think many people with a $500 seamaster are contemplating spending four digits on a booklet. It's for those who want to complete a $60k+ set for a 2915, etc..

 

I don't blame you for trying. But the value for me in the papers, would be to add a bit of provenance (original buyer, SN, date, location, etc.) A pristine booklet with blank buyer's, jeweler's, and agent's coupons, the latter two of which I didn't know existed, doesn't do much for me.

If I may ask, how are those two additional coupons packaged? I ask because I have the original booklet for my watch, but the wallet card, um, must have actually made it to the owner's wallet since it is missing.

I see the jeweler's card where I'd expect the wallet card to be, i.e., next to page 20:



The wallet card adjacent to some text I don't recognize:



And the agent's adjacent to text explaining to the jeweler that he should deliver good stuff, which is the one that makes sense:

 

After page 20 you have the jewellers coupon. This is then followed by the "general agents coupon", who would send the bill-fold off to Omega for factory registration. Finally (shared with the back cover of the booklet) is the Bona Fide guarantee, which was kept by the owner. Hope this helps

 

This price is hilarious as the booklet does not come with the watch...

Here is mine, it is not in NOS condition but I like it a lot more - it came with the watch...



See the serial and have a guess
