I'm more of a lurker on OF, but I figured I'd share some pics of my new arrival. I know this LE isn't universally popular due to the ck2998 designation, but I think folks should still see it in person. It's a beautiful dial with a great shade of blue!

 

The lume shot looks great.
Congratulation for this purchase.

 

Great pictures, especially the lume shot. Congrats! Can't wait to pick mine up!

Congrats, waiting for my number to come up as well. If you don't mind, can you let me know what number you got. the highest number i've seen so far is 750, waiting to get to 2000 before i get excited that mine will be here soon.

 

Thanks guys! I looked at a lot of pics on OF before making my decision

#510, purchased from Toppers

 

There is little, if anything not to like about that watch. I have yet to see one in person but even in photos it's very, very attractive. Congratulations, and I wish you many years of happy, healthy wearing!

 

That lume shot is MONEY!!! how do you take a picture like that? (seriously, please tell me how)

when I first got mine, I was very wishy-washy on this. it's took a while but I have grown to absolutely love it. it has now become my daily wear. for a while, I was regretting I got this rather than Sedna gold FOIS or a Rollie. definitely no regret now. just stunning, understated elegance.

 

Those are some of the nicest pics I've seen yet! Tried getting one through OB here. No luck as I came asking much too late. I asked how many they were allocated but they wouldn't give me any indication at all as to how many they received. Standard practice I suppose on LE's?

 

Thanks! We love pics here - whether you like the watch or not!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the CK2998 designation relating to. I like the watch, but don't know the history...

CK was the old Omega designation for steel watches. 2998(-1, -2, etc) were model references to the second gen Speedmaster models with straight lugs and alpha/leaf hands, all cal 321 and pre-pro, pre-moon.


Edit: @ck1109, nice to see you here. See you at Red Bar tomorrow night? [emoji23]
