·Amazing! All of them.
At a very close look it seems that mine and a few other have slightly short minute hands ( a half to a complete marker-length). Are they changed at some time?

·This thread has a touch of irony to it now that it's matured. The original premise from the OP was that people looking for a 2998 have forgotten what a good 2998 looks like and should not be paying a premium to buy a beat up 2998. Subsequently, all the members here have posted pictures of their amazing 2998s. Often these pics have hoards of amazing 2998s 2 and 3 deep. Has it dawned on you all that we the people not in possession of a 2998 have to buy a crappy one because you guys have hoarded all the good ones? I mean I think this thread makes that point. Come on, do you need three of them? (Rhetorical question don't answer)
No one has forgotten what a great 2998 looks like, they just aren't for sale.

·Lovely 2998's! 🥰🥰🥰
but what caught my eye is the speedy on oyster on the lower third from right! First time i have seen on that kind of bracelet, and it looks good! Sorry if off topic, but what omega bracelet is that? cheers!
It's an 1168. It was used on the 1975 Apollo Soyuz LE as well as a few seamasters apparently.

·Maybe better stated: "What you're able to pay" 😉
I feel like 99% of watch collecting is just having extremely deep pockets. Sometimes I sit back and really think about the countless hours of pay that would go into just one of these. And I get a little bit disgusted with myself. And then I start to ponder the point of it all.
Then I read threads like this and silly ideas like "retirement" and "savings" tend to go out the window. Who needs that anyway when you have a 2998... assuming there are any good ones left! 🫨
