My very own 2998-61 on 7912 bct.

 

So what was the work done?

 

That watch looks like it was sitting in a time capsule.

 

This example is so nice that it may cross the line from those that feel happy for your good fortune, into...

 

Was this just a movement service or was other work carried out? Looks fantastic!! Wear in good health.

 

Movement service, refinish the bracelet, that is all he advised was required.
I agreed with his advice.

Ok, I guess maybe the watch is fantastic firstly (imo) but STS just inspire confidence when you send them your most valuable pieces.
And that is fantastic.

 

How much do they charge for a movement service?

 

Wow fantastic example- what was the turnaround time?

 

As a relative newcomer to the site, I'm not entirely clear on the rules when it comes to this sort of thing but JESUS CHRIST DIBS!!!

 

what a beauty. more photos to follow I hope....

 

Stop teasing us with just the one pic. WE NEED MOAR!!!!

 

That is beautiful! I am taking my Speedmaster to ST'S soon for a service. I was a bit worried about handing it over but after seeing your result I feel very confident now.

 

Yes

 

How did STS refinish the bracelet in your case?

 

The bezel on that 2998, holy moly!!

 

If anyone needs the definition of the word "clean" or "pristine" here it is.

Wear it in good health my man

 

Polish the shiny bits and brush the satin bits, nothing more than that.

 

Thanks for the kind words.
Ok, a few more photos here;

 

Where did you find this watch?!

You may have one of the nicer examples out there..."collector" grade to be sure.

 

If I wanted to find a fault it would be that the end link at the top of this photo, although not seen when worn, is bent and could have been straightened during service IMHO. Aside from that the watch is quite beautiful.
