    You should post this question in the Vintage Omega forum (https://omegaforums.net/forums/vintage-omega-watches-help-discussion-and-advice.23/). This forum is for reviews.

    As you may know, this is a very special watch, the bezel alone is valuable and the lollipop sweep hand is rare. Maybe you can try to take more photos, and try to focus on the watch (instead of the background) so the details are clear. Members will be very interested and will want to see photos from the back, and hopefully the movement and the inside of the case-back.

    You can also look here for more information: https://speedmaster101.com/2998-3/

    Also, I think people would appreciate any information that you already have about the watch that could be helpful, for example any restoration that has been done.

    Your surname wouldn't perhaps be 'Foffi' would it (and you are not trolling us)? :)

    Most likely a 2998-1/2. Dial looks slightly brown. Better photos would be great.

    And yet no clear photos and a repetition of 1984 acquisition. This fact is irrelevant.

    I suppose I am being hasty.

    I have NEVER seen a relumed watch from Coral Gables, so it must be original.

    :)

    Are there barns in Coral Gables? Maybe his uncle had a barn in Coral Gables.

    Now I'm a bit confused. Wasn't it Anne of Green Gables?
