Here's a watch that "looks" nice. But, there are way too many things wrong that can not be easily corrected. I count at least a half dozen. Lets see which ones you can list.

I see that Mike has already posted this watch in another thread so I will quote his post from there.

To this I will also add the crystal tension ring is wrong. Crown is a modern replacement and not only is the bezel a much later replacement but that entails that it is the wrong size (diameter) too.

 

Don't feel bad, I missed that post too. If you look at the other images you can see the crown Omega sign is a modern type. The tension ring should be silver, not black as on latter Speedys. The hands are the correct shape, but not the correct models and size.

 

Watch with all the wrong components though is still worth a few thousand dollars in parts.

 

Yes, hopefully a buyer will pay for the viable parts and not think he is getting a complete prime treasure.

 

It's taken a long time, but I've just realised we need an "unlike" button round here...

On a more serious note, where is the crystal tension ring visible ? Any chance of one of those pics with a big red ring to point out the defect to us visually impaired folks ?

 

The correct crystal for the 2998 had a shiny silver tension ring that is clearly visible all around the dial periphery. The later crystals (correct for the twisted lugs 321 speedmasters) had a black tension ring like this one incorrectly has.

 

Silver tension ring

Black tension ring.

 

Oh THAT ! Didn't realise it was so big - I was looking for a thin little thing.

Thanks Steve.

 

It is hard to say for certain as the crystal is Saphire, but I believe the tenision ring in the New Omega Speedmaster FOIS 2998 Homage is silver as well. A positive attribute.
