Omega Speedmaster 2998-1 The Ultimate 2998 Tropical dial, hands with curved profiles, BASE1000 bezel (Desperately sad to see it go) Provenance Bought in 2013 from a private seller, with no history. Not serviced in my possession, and runs as should but be prepared for a service at some time. Small mark in Crystal near Omega Symbol, not dial. Good movement: (Last digits blurred) Some daylight shots: And in my fingers, so you can see it is not altered for colour! Price I am asking USD $110,000. I think if I dusted it up a bit and gave it to a small auction house on dodgy photos it might get more. Compared to recent sales I think this is about right. This level everything needs to be checked and negotiated, for example where you are, how we execute payment and delivery - probably best to hand it over. Therefore I am more than happy to listen to any offer: as long as it is significant to you - it is significant to me. I respect all offers as long as you are not offended if I refuse. I have thought long and hard about selling this. I perhaps should give it to a B&M auction house, but my loyalties have always been here in the forum. I have no idea if this is a silly place to sell, but so far I have only dealt with PLM’s. (People like me!) Many of the biggest buyers will read this. If not then I will send it off to Christies. I am not sure what else to say. This was one of my first 2998’s and I really think it is one of the best. Selling as we all know, to help pay for the big fish I landed last week. Feel free to ask any questions, however picky they might be. You have to be picky on a watch like this.
Wow. GLWS. I don't think you will have ANY trouble selling this. Who would we buy a watch like this from, if not from you? Undfortunately I already spent my watch budget for this month..
..and latest from this sale on I am really scared to see what the incoming thing is, William. Suspense beyond my capabilities to bear!
Amazed to see you're letting this one go my friend, but knowing what's coming in... well... justified! GLWS.
Is this quite possibly the most expensive watch listed/sold on OF? I’m relatively new to OF but 110k usd is roughly 50% of my apartment. Glws!!!
Gorgeous example. If I sold every Speedy I own, I could pay for most of this beauty...but alas, I shall resist the temptation. GLWS!
I own 8 Speedmasters and still couldn't come close if I sold them all, but I wish I could. As I do dream of owning an example like this. GLWS!
...alas that's all that's left for us mere-mortals...GLWS Mr. Fruit, although I doubt you need it, as where the space-fruit drops off the space-tree so the space-worms feed voraciously...
