·It was sold for 82k CHF plus fees.
Is this the very first 2998?

··Oooo subtitles!Unless I am missing something, having read this thread it seems there is nothing supporting the claim it was the first other than the last 3 digits of the serial being zero. The extract certainly suggests nothing out of the ordinary.

IMO this watch was worth the same whether it was the first or 17th 2998-1.
At the end of the day it’s all about the condition.

Don’t worry, the guys who got hooked by Poljot watches lately didn’t suffer from inflation.
The supply must still exceed the demand

IMHO those exuberate auction prices have nothing more to do with enthusiasts & hobbyists... it's more about egos & "investments"...
Luckily this trend didn't spread to rare books & historical photograph collectors ... and let's keep it that way 📖
