Uncommon is a better word perhaps.
I believe that the hands (the long hour especially) of your 2998-1 are more commonly seen on the 2915-3.

I think you are wrong in this point. The hour hand is not that of a CK 2915-3. It has the appropriate length for a CK 2998.

When the show 11.22.63 came out I speculated that the main protagonist had it all wrong - he was bringing meat back from 1963 and selling it in the future for a healthy profit. Pound for pound though, nothing has appreciated like vintage watches in value, and would be a perfect candidate for bringing from the past to the future if you wanted to get rich. This watch looks like it was teleported directly from 1959 to 2018.

Seth Brundle CK 2998-1? Hopefully not... This watch was not teleported, but just well preserved over the years. I've worn it only a couple of times and for special occasions.

And the radium, all here are talking about, if teleported, should have been white. 😉

OP’s watch is photographed from an angle that will make the hour hand look longer while the other watch is photographed head on.
I don’t think the hands are the same.

Perhaps. But the OP’s 2998-1 Hour Hand doesn’t match a later 2998-6 triangular lume Hand either. See below.

MWO only mention 2 triangular lume hour hands. A member, a few weeks ago, felt there were 3. Perhaps there are

If OP wants a helpful and meaningful discussion to take place here; he must post more photos with different angles and close ups. Otherwise it loses relevance and he, a locus standi, to discuss this amazing watch.

Well, there were at least 3 different versions of triangular lume hands, to be more precise.

You always have to be careful because there are many fakes on top of that... 😉

Would be super interesting to see some macro shots of the lume on the hands. Looks like a very smooth texture compared to the dial.

Great watch. Thank you for sharing. 😀
