hi folks,
can't thank everyone in this community enough for sharing their knowledge in such a collaborative and open way. i've learned a great deal from many of the threads and hope to lend my expertise in time.
im currently in discussions about a 2998-6 with a seller i've worked with in the past and trust. I want to get a sense of what folks think about the issues. in general this watch lines up very well with MWO specifications for the reference.. don bezel, small pushers, flat foot crown, browning dial with correct markings, double stepped caseback, and movement in the correct range. no bracelet included.
main concerns are the hour and chrono hands, which are incorrect for the reference, but appear on earlier 2998 references. it won't be easy to source the correct hands... also a small amount of lume seems to have flaked off the indices.
would appreciate your thoughts.
-M
