Omega Speedmaster 2998-5 Tube /Pipe Nipple/Flat story

Gawd forgive me, but it occurred to me that we have got it wrong.

If we label the two upper sub-registers 'nipples,' shouldn't the 12 hour sub-register correspond to a different body part? Like male or female nuts and bolts.

Sorry for this. 🤦
Circumcised?

Nice pictures mate, but I for one don't have a Scooby Doo what point you are trying to make.
Good question, considering the OP was trying to sell his watches on several market platforms in Germany and Austria for a while. My guess the point of this thread is attention.

Also the OP was selling some 2998 Alpha hands 1 month ago and i contacted him to confirm the lengths. Instead of giving me the exact measurements he was stating that those are the "Omega genuine parts for 2998 #1/2/3 and not the Seamaster 321" hands. While in fact the hands did look shorter than they should in fotos.
After i confronted him with details, he never replied again...
So this begs the question, is he really trying to enrich the OF community with his nipple knowledge or does he have some other intentions..



(just an explanation to the picture above:
OP sent me the photo on the left of the hands he had for sale.
To my knowledgeThe correct length for Speedmaster hands is 14mm (minute) and 10mm (hour).
They should be basically the same length as the white Baton hands.
Seamaster hands are 12mm and 9mm long.

So i cut the hands from the photo above and put them next to each other on the right hand side. and my guess would be that those are shorter.
)

if i am wrong with my assumption then obviously i would apologize.
so what would be the guess of the OF comunity, are the hands genuine for 2998 #1/2/3?

Dobro pitanje, s obzirom da je OP neko vrijeme pokušavao prodati svoje satove na nekoliko tržišnih platformi u Njemačkoj i Austriji. Pretpostavljam da je smisao ove teme pozornost.

Također, OP je prodavao nekih 2998 Alpha ruku prije mjesec dana i kontaktirao sam ga da potvrdim duljine. Umjesto da mi da točne mjere, rekao je da su to "originalni dijelovi Omega za 2998 #1/2/3, a ne ruke Seamaster 321". Iako su zapravo ruke izgledale kraće nego što bi trebale na fotografijama.
Nakon što sam ga suočila s detaljima, više mi nije odgovorio...
Pa se postavlja pitanje da li on svojim znanjem o bradavicama doista pokušava obogatiti OF zajednicu ili ima neke druge namjere..



(samo objašnjenje gornje slike:
OP mi je poslao fotografiju s lijeve strane ruku koje je imao na prodaju.
Koliko ja znam, točna duljina za Speedmaster kazaljke je 14 mm (minuta) i 10 mm (sat).
Trebale bi biti u osnovi iste duljine kao bijele Baton ruke.
Kazaljke Seamaster duge su 12 mm i 9 mm.

Pa sam izrezao ruke s gornje fotografije i stavio ih jednu do druge s desne strane. i pretpostavljam da su one kraće.
)

ako sam u krivu sa svojom pretpostavkom onda bih se očito ispričao.
pa kakva bi bila pretpostavka OF zajednice, jesu li ruke originalne za 2998 #1/2/3?

My choice is what I will do with my things, it says that I have advertised on various platforms and I am still advertising, OF has these things regulated, as for the hands, they are all original bought from Omega sources and I still have them, I almost sold the case 105,012 amstrog to OF member and thanked me for cooperation outside OF sales.
I don't see why you have malicious connotations, I answered your question quickly and professionally, the fact that it is expensive is not my problem, you asked for the length of the hands to be measured, I think you should do additional research, because you are not sure what you are looking for for the rest I'm here.

Poštovani
Moj izbor je sta cu raditi sa mojim stvarima,stoji da sam oglasavao na raznim platformama i dalje oglasavam, OF ima te stvari regulisane,sto se tice kazaljki sve su orginalne kupljene iz Omega izvora i kod mene su i dalje,skoro sam prodao kućište 105.012 amstrog članu OF i zahvalio mi se na suradnji izvan OF prodaja.
Ne vidim zašto imate zlurade konotacije, na vas upit odgovorio sam vam brzo i profesionalno,to što je vama skupo nije moj problem,tražili ste da se izmjeri dužina kazaljki, mislim da bi trebali još da odradite dodatne pretrage, jer ni sami niste sigurni šta trazite za ostalo tu sam.

I dont blame you for listing your watches and watch parts, its all good and i am happy other members had positive experience doing business with you.
In fact, if you have just answered my question about the length of the hands, i might have bought them. If those are genuine lenths, i dont think your price was absurd high. But i have reasons to belive that those hands are too short to be genuine 2998 hands. Therefore i wanted a confirmation of the lenghs. you never provided those.

Here is a good reference for your consideration:
https://web.archive.org/web/20191030120806/http://speedmaster101.com/blog/2998-alpha-hand-length/

judging from these photos alone, i cant say if the hands are correct length to be the correct 2998 hands.

I cant really recall that I was in the hunt for Speedy hands…?
But there might be a slight miscommunication here?
😉

Any way, I am charging up for Afterwork with loads of Brewski,
so is it time to queue in som Cat pictures…?

Have a nice weekend OF, and good luck with this thread!

I don’t own one, but my sense is that there needs to be a picture of a cat very soon…
