On the latest Bruun-Rasmussen auction, currently with an estimate of 80,000 kroner (approx. US$9,360]:

There’s also a nice looking 2914-3 - wish I had some funds available

 

That Ultraman has had a life but otherwise than worn it checks all the boxes to me.

 

The dials on the vintage Ultraman are something to be seen in person, pretty hard to describe really.
Glad I bought mine long ago described as "wrong hand" by the dealer

The dial looks nice on that watch, scratches look to be on the plexi?

Cheers, Michael

 

Looks OK, except for that caseback

About the 2915-3 - movement# is too high for this ref., right?

 

Hands are different from 2915-3 too?
Serial range of 2998-1 and 2 but who know if the case back was used by the factory, stranger things have happened.

 

Also missing the two holes in the movement holder (MWO mention this seems to be specific to 2915-3). But as you say - who knows.....

 

Did anyone from the forum bought one of these watches? It would be nice to pictures in real life

 

.... and was hammered for 210k Danish crowns + 30% for the buyer ..

 

The 2915-3 went for 300.000 DKK + fee

Dang, that’s 42k USD ! Wow

 

It definitely looks like a 2998-1, both from hands and serial point of view, dial is correct for both reference though, but my guess is it could hardly be a 2915
And I am 99% sure a request of archives for this kind of low serial will not help

 

Unless you are Christies or Phillips, apparently.

 

Well indeed it looks like we don’t all have the same treatment even if the service is great when it works

 

Right
Just clicked through their instagram profile - and had to smile over the amount of "really rare prototype watches" they are selling...

 

Not necessarily true.
Even regular mortals can get them.
I just got one for my 2915-3

 

@ndgal mind sharing what is the European Exchange System? have never seen this before. interesting! beautiful watch by the way

You must have been very lucky or thanks to the link with the military story of your watch...
I never had the chance to get an extract for whatever Seamaster or Speedmaster from the 16xxxxxx till the 18xxxxxx and of course I just sent the serial without description in the EoA request

 

No one in Switzerland could ever decline it for a watch full of wrist cheese
