Hello, I am not new to the vintage watch collection, but recently bought a few Omegas, including an attractive (IMHO) Speedy 2998-2. It is a straight hand version otherwise appearing correct, according to my limited experience and scant research. I prefer (as many others) the lollipop Chrono sweep hand. Anyone knows where I can source one? Or am I just a dreamer?
What think you all?
Regards,
Emil

 

Should be in the WTB section after reading the stickies in the For Sale forum.

Good luck finding one..............

 

Frankly, they're as rare as rocking horse shot but if you are going to find one, this is the place.

As you won't have posting privileges in the for sale and to buy sections (because you're new and we like to know who we're buying from and selling to) your best hope at the moment is to keep reading the FS section. If you stick around, introduce yourself, make some posts and laugh at the antipodeans then you'll eventually get to be able to place ads for yourself.

Edit: shot? Really!? I thought we got rid of the puritanicals three centuries ago only for Android to come along and censor me? I will have my rewengie!

 

Good luck on the (almost impossible) search.

Lovely watch by the way!

 

Sorry, I bought the last one
Seriously, 3 of these lollis came via this forum.

 

you will find one; no problem. there are a few stashed away...... unfortunately it will be exceeding the pocket money category....... kind regards. achim

 

I remember seeing one offered for $7K within the past year, iirc.

 

$7k for a freaking seconds hand...

 

But it's not a seconds hand - it's a chronograph hand

 

Not only that, a second-hand, seconds hand. Or chrono hand. Either way, an arm and a leg. For a hand...

 

A chronograph hand. One that happens to measure elapsed time in seconds.

 

Wanna trade that bezel for one?

 

Yes. You're in the right place but also try ebay and instagram.
