Just back from service



And no Mr Davidoff, you cannot have it!

 

Very nice indeed!

 

Wow, DIBS!

 

Oh that lollipop hand

Thanks for sharing. You just don't see enough watches with the lollipop hand.

 

Delicious

 

A 2998-3 I'm guessing.

Edit: Based upon subregister hands I am changing my guess to a 2998-4

 

How many 2998's now?

 

And chance of a 2nd Dibs Wowx2

 

OMG stunning .

 

I LOL'd at that one. Lovely specimen!

 

Since we are discussing 2998s, I recently managed to source this 2998-6. Except for one, easy to fix, issue it is all correct with a very nice dial and matching triangluar lume hand set. Will post nicer photos when the bezel is improved.

 

It is a -62.

Received wisdom, from "The Danish Site" is that -4's had the lollipop. I've seen them on all 2998's now, as well as on a 2915.

It's in the "wouldn't kick out of bed" category for me. So I am happy to have it. Since I am a UBG.

Lovely watch, as usual.

Based on the recent speedmaster101 write up, are those service hands? Sharp cut lume slots?

 

Yes. So called 1970's service hands. They are absolutely flat which is also a tell.

 

Imagine another Speedmaster thread....without any "wrong hands" "wrong bezel" "mismatched serial number" "over polished" comments/posts...

 

Beautiful! May I ask where you had it serviced? Type of.service? Price? Turnaround time? My 145.022 should go in for preventative TLC.

I think @Spacefruit has a special technician named Harry.

 

Haha, enjoy
