I managed to put my name down on a CK2998 today with very little hassle?

Oh well, everyone I know that wanted it got it with no issues. and Ive been seeing it around. But maybe things have changed in the last 2 months. Honestly I never really pay much attention to that particular watch some maybe I'm confusing it with the much nicer non LE

I wasn't active on the forum at the time of the CK2998 announcement, so forgive me if this point had already been made: I think it's a lovely looking watch, but for that real link back to the 2998, would it have been so hard to put in a column wheel movement as they did for the numbered 50th anniversary editions? (Though I must admit, I'm unsure as to how close the 3201 movement was to the original 321 movement.) I'm sure economics plays a part here, but otherwise, it's just a modern Speedy in vintage clothes, right? Albeit very nice vintage clothes.

Congrats on getting your name down though, and on the Daytona. Hens' teeth them things.
