Hello Today I would like to share with all Omega lovers my CK2998-62 As you can see it is written in the caseback a strange inscription , I have tried but never found out its meaning Thanks for looking
Very nice, looks like it might need some longer alpha hands but the bezel looks mint and the case is pretty nice too
Ah...I remember reading about the caseback inquiry a while back...something to do with the Taiwan Navy??
I love this watch, thank you for showing us. As mentioned, I think the hands are from a seamaster - a common substitution I have noticed. The pushers look slightly different than on many other 2998's I have seen - re they 4x3mm? What I am wondering is are they original examples? I know that the pushers I pull off some old 321's have a different construction than the modern service replacements.I have a feeling you might well have original pushers there ! These points are minor cosmetic issues - yours is a lovely watch Here is a photo of some service replacement pushers to illustrate what I mean. The shape of the top of the cap is flatter and the metal is thicker.
Thanks for your reply Spacefruit , regarding the hands , they are the ones that had the watch when I bought it , you are right about the pushers , the measures are 4x3mm Rgds

DEPORA is apparently an abbreviation for Departemen Olah Raga (Indonesian Ministry of Sports). Thought to commemorate a special occasion but unclear which one.
as said before, for forum members we still have a special price.....but only a few left now. kind regards. achim

I don't think there is any watch that is more attractive, has a more interesting story or is as unpretentious as this Speedmaster you have shown us here. It's clearly the greatest watch of all time. Not much more to say.
