Team,

I did with the CK2998, what I do with all of my new watches.

Wear it at the arrival day and then put it on a drawer for few days and, after this delay, I wear it again to have a clear and non emotional view.

With CK2998 did it again, meaning hit the full mark.

I already discussed the size (39.7mm, if my mind is working) and the feeling on the wrist (great if you ask).

Now, after the emotional phase, I took a deep look on the dial. Clean, without any unnecessary words on it (It just has "Omega Speedmaster" and "Swiss Made").

No need to advert more because the CK2998 is what is: A wonderful piece that is a must have to any Speedmaster lover.

Fresh picture from this gray winter morning:

Even the grey skies opened to show some respect to the CK2998

More details in B&W:

Thanks for seeing.

Cheers,

Nilo

PN as in Paul Newman?

No way! Rolex aficionados define every Panda watch as PN? Cheers, Nilo
