    How 'bout 100x the original price? Maybe more like 200x :thumbsup:

    I think the "World Renowned for Accuracy" Red Box, shown with my full setup 2998-5 could be correct.
    Also sold in 1962.

    Thanks for that.
    Always thought this type was early 1960's and correct for Speedmasters too, am I wrong?

    Indeed there is @oddboy. However, MWO is not nearly as clear on box and docs dates as it is on bezels, hands and dials.

    Just some guys casually posting their ultra-rare complete 2998 sets. I hate you all (I don't). ::bleh::
