    What do you think about this 105.002? I do not have pics of the back but it is signed with 105.002. Thanks!

    I can't find anything to say that it's too good. Just do your due diligent wrt the case back and movement.

    I purchased this 105.002-62 a short time ago. It was in pristine condition. You can compare the two. Seems that your dial is different. Look into that. Mine has a stepped dial. The dial of the watch in question appears to be domed? Or is it the picture? The dials however, are not the same.

    It's the most unobtrusive step dial I've seen yet! How the hell do you find watches like these, still!!

    If you are sure, fine. Usually the lume with have a slight break at the step. I can't see that in your pictures

    Crown is a 32 Wide Ω, which is thought to have been replacement crowns in the '70's for the watches with 321 movements (MWO authors aren't sure). The 24 Narrow Ω crown is undoubtedly from the 321 era...

    The two lines in this picture seems to be a reflection of of something else rather than the dial step, which should go along the ends of the minute hashes. If this is a domed dial, it's not a 2998 one but something else.

    The crystal's apparently not genuine and the tension ring is thinner than normal, but these are minor points.

    I think that the earliest 2998 dials (2998-1 and 2 were domed). Someone with a handy copy of MWO can solve this mystery. Mine is home and I am not.

    The earlier 2998 domed dials have different subdial layout to this one.

    I think you need to investigate if this is a relumed service dial. I looked at a service dial picture online and the 29 and 31 appear to line up the same as the newer service dial. This would also explain why the dial looks so good. See pic below

    I think it is a step dial but not sure. I will see the watch live in a few days....

    Swiss made, 29 ans 31 marker are aligned to the Swiss made the same Way on this one and on a service dial. The one from gemini4 is different (31 in the middle of the first S)
