Total of 3 CK2998 LEs have been alloted to the OB in my city with 12 customers on the waiting list ( me 2nd ) & the 1st batch is expected to arrive in Nov. I havent made a decision yet .No discounts on LEs & retails for US 5263 ( Malaysian Ringgit 22K )
I wonder why it appears so large to me in many of these photos.
My thoughts exactly Sir. Since i'm familiar with the standard German Dive watches , the CK2998 does appear a tad smaller on my wrist when i tried on the regular version & the gorgeous Gold Panda (that's ~USD 13.2 K in Msia ) as oppose to say...the GM dial which is deceptively larger than the 39mm suggest
That's Ariel Adams' left wrist shot & i have superimposed both the CK2998 & the GM after readjusting & recalibrating his wrist size. Can you appreciate the subtle differences between the 39mm vs 39.7mm ?
Thank you for that very detailed response, ma'am.
I'll use Doc Brown's DeLorean Time Machine, Go back to Baselworld 2015 , grab the GM , hit the gas at 88mph & travel forwards to BaselWorld 2016 , place the GM & CK2998 LE side by side so that you can judge both models ! How 'bout that Sir.... [emoji6] ?
Was at the OB in Houston this week asking about the CK2998. I asked to see it, and they brought out the catalogue...=/
Wait time is minimum of 2 months, and they are requesting deposits for the CK2998. I asked where I would be in line, and they said 4. With a limited run (as opposed to the FOIS, which is a numbered run) this will probably hold value, at least against inflation.
BTW long time lurker, recently joined so first post...love this forum!
Mexico is also a great place to buy Omega watches. You get them for around 30% less than in the US at the AD麓s.
For example the SMPc 300 is priced at $62,000 if you pay cash which is around $3,100 USD. The Bond AT is priced around $100,000 cash which is around $5,000 USD compared to $7,350 in the US.
You can get close to this prices on Gray Market but buying at the AD麓s always makes you feel something special.
