I don't recall any but I would speculate that those who have probably won't admit to it.

I only wish it were easier to assemble a 2915-3. I've been searching many months for a proper wide oval O dial to replace the service dial on my 2915-3 pictured above. I'm still searching for that dial but very pleased this more correct version arrived today 😀. The base 1000 bezel is nice as well!

nice 7077! single notch end links?

One single, one double. Exactly the same as my other 2915-3. Soon they will be in matched pairs 😀

The trick is whit this bezels is they come in 2 different produced intervals.

I assume one of the differences is that of the two pictured on the front page (one from ebay, and the other that was sold not long ago) the dot by 90 is in two different places (one over, the other more diagonal)? Hard to pick out what else on the ebay one since it is so banged up.

No I am too young to be the original owner of a 2998 😁
The watch belonged to the grandfather of the seller, he is sure that it has never been touched.
It's the transitional 7077 bracelet.

Here is a pics of the 2 different Base 1000 Bezels. The style 1's have faded to blue/grey over time.
