Reposting with a Reduction! Keen to get this sold.

Speedmaster 2998-2 1960 with Lollipop hand and heavy patina.

Mechanically restored by Lewis Watch Co with receipt. Case pushers and 12 hour recorder are replacement - for full disclosure.

Dial lume was relumed. Otherwise mostly left as found.

Rare Lollipop hand and other hands are all original lume. Comes with original caseback still clearly showing hippocampus and double step, plus a custom display back.

DON bezel in 'ok' condition and has a green hue under certain light. This model should have a Base 1000 bezel according the Speedmaster101/MWO, but the DON looks fine on it as is.

Comes on pictured leather strap (or similar alternative) + original unworn vintage omega strap

Extract of archives showing delivery to France. Production December 1960

Reduced to 18k USD or strong offers while the dollar is strong!

Located in Australia, postage to be discussed.

PM for any more info!

Do let us know if you decide to put it up for auction. It's a unique piece and I'm very curious what the market values it at. I unfortunately cannot be of any help on what auction house to pick.

If I didn’t have a 2998-2 with a base 1000 bezel and a tropical dial, I’d be figuring out what to pawn in order to buy this.

Must be a beauty!

Open to trades.

Would do a straight swap for a Moser Streamliner. Open to most vintage / modern. Can add cash or other pieces I have for sale

Are you sure ? Swap for a Moser Streamliner? If you want to sell that, it will be very hard to do so ...

I'd be ok with that i think, but 'would' prefer the funds, or a watch and half the value in $$
