Showed this a couple of years ago - 2998-1
Also have the original receipt - sold for $61.35 but will keep that private. The inner and outer boxes, hangtag, brochure and warranty are intact. I blocked out the last 3 digits of the movement serial.

I know there are some skeptics out there - watch has not been opened. You can ask @Spacefruit about the condition if you'd like - he has handled the watch in person.
That's fabulous and the pics are great. At the same time, it's a little sad - just sitting there in that box - like a beautiful car that's never turned a wheel on a public road!

That's why I wear this chocolate dial 2998-1 instead.

Perfect answer. I'm afraid there's a whiff of envy this end!

Mike,

Amazing set - thanks for showing it again 👍 Must be one of your better buys.... 😁

Your daily beater is not bad either...😜

Is a watch from 1988 allready vintage? The booklet is stamped 1995 but the serial number tells it's made in 1988.

Amazing posts. Love these full set, nevertheless the timepieces look better on the wrist.

Awesome rarities shared in this thread - congrats to the owners - simply wow ! 👍

Here's my minty "Ultraman" 145.012-67 SP with serial matching papers :

The extract from Omega archives confirms delivery to the USA.

Have to find a box of that time and the set is full 😟

This Waltham Colonial will be 80 years old in 2017. No papers, but I have the original box, cardboard shell, and linen sachet, marked

for the 14 karat gold case manufacturer, Keystone. The watch was presented to an employee of the Winnipeg Paint & Wallpaper Co. In 1937, on the 25th anniversary of the recipient's employment. I very much doubt the watch has ever been used!

1989 145.022 I picked up a couple of week ago from the original owner.
Looks great and I really like this particular style of box/papers. Dial is lovely: am I right to think the hands are service replacements?
