What am I missing?. Why is this not sold yet? I see some obvious flaws but still??. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-OMEGA-SPEEDMASTER-321-STRAIGHT-LUGS-2998-5/113693299098?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Service dial, serial # is too late to be a 2998-5 so the movement SN and caseback don't match. Movement has at least one part from later 321 references, may be other issues. It does has some nice qualities and would make a great wearable watch but I am guessing the price is the issue? I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was the right price. Edit: If movement is from 2998-62 it may be original
T-Swiss Made-T in a 2998-5? Also the dial itself looks just very unattractive. Hands need to be relumed, or a pair of original ones need to be sourced (there is a pair of original hands FS atm on Ebay, but they are 8k €) The DON although turning somewhat green/grey is heavily dinged up and last but not least the movement looks very very unattractive from an esthetic point of view. The price is about right, but this watch needs love and a lot of cash to be put back in great shape. Cheers, Max
Don't mean to hijack the thread (I apologise if I am), here is another; https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-SPEE...d-Movement-Outstanding-Cond-RARE/113685291260Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network The sub dials (3 and 6 o'clock) look odd. Gaps at the step? also the markers on the 3 o'clock extend vertically.
This is most likely a scammer. Same exact watch was sold in December 2015. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-...m43663.l10137&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=truePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
When this 2998-5 first appeared, I had messaged the seller scammer asking a question. Once Ebay realized there was a a fraud, they close the account and notify anyone who contacted or bid. That was yesterday.
