after all this Conny threads I thought we should return to the real thing ....the old Speedys

Here is my newest acquisition





As can be seen on the next picture, this is one of the rare examples with very flat edged totalizers and no step at all (whereas all the 2915 series dials as well as all the later 2998 series dials had more or less slight steps)



These flat totalizers were typical for the 2915 dials, so here we have a transitional form and very early 2998 dial, which fits to the pretty early movement No. 16.xxx.xxx

 

amazing

 

Superb piece! Congrats!

 

Oooooo, BASE 1000 and a dot over 90! I like the alpha hands too. The only better Speedmasters are the early Broad Arrow hands models.

 

Sweet.....sweet...........love those hands

 

Great watch - congrats!

 

I love this watch. Indeed A very early serial for a 2998.

the dial looks fantastic.

 

Superb, an excellent addition indeed.
I would love a 2998 one day. Can you show a picture of a "normal" 2998 dial so I can make a comparison of the two?

Regards

 

Hi Mike - can you point out what the dial differences are between 2915-3 and the 2998-1?

Gunnar - this is a superb find! Magnificent! I went and put on my 105.012 (on original bracelet) just for the purposes of continuing to read this thread. Question - can you clarify what you mean by "totalizer", and specifically, what you mean by "flat edged" vs. "stepped" totalizers?

cheers,
Mark

 

Very Nice!

 

WOW, thta's awesome

 

here is my slightly later " base 1000 " bezel version. kind regards. achim

 

Hi Mike - yeah, could you elaborate on what to look for, and approximately where in the product line you see them change?

 

Absolutely beautiful and aging gracefully, too!
