·Small 12h hand head is diferent no bewel
Only by 2998-5 is diferent and maybe new ref in 1962 only
The non-nippled hour sub-register hand is NOT seen only on 2998-5. It is common to all Speedmasters up to 105002.
From 105.003, the nipple appears.
This is a very important clue when assessing a pre-105.003 Speedy.

·its only light refresch not polished
The running seconds and minute subdial hands are service replacement from the mid 70's.
Original period subdial hands are pointier like on @pdxleaf 's watch shown above.
The flat "No nipple" hour subdial hands (Leaf or stick) were standard from the CK2915-1 reference to early 105.003-63/64.

·Since we’re talking about nipples…
I’m honestly having difficulty differentiating between the “no-nipple” sub-dial hand, and the “nippled ” variety.
This photo is from a 105.003-63:
This one from a 145.012. Both original, and should have different nipples. I’m not seeing much of a difference…

·Mr Bob, focus on small hole and flat suface....you heve lot on net pictures of 2998-5 or 105.oo2 -62
Actually, if I could have easily seen the difference by just looking at pictures on the net, I wouldn’t have bothered asking the question.
