The Omega Speedmaster CK 2998, particularly with its alpha hands, is considered by some to be a more aesthetically pleasing and historically appropriate choice for a reissue than the 'Ed White' (EDW) model.
A question arises regarding the originality of the bezel on the CK 2998, specifically whether all models, or only the earliest iterations, were originally fitted with a 'Base 1000' bezel.

should have been the case and reference model the newly reissued 321 should have launched with, much nicer with alpha hands than the EDW.
