Iโ€™m surprised...

I was betting that youโ€™d like it at least because of its resemblance to the blue CK 2998, no? Or maybe for that reason youโ€™re not impressed, which I could understand.

You got it right. It is too close to the CK 2998. ( Dial and bezel ).

Ah! Your love for the blue CK 2998 is deep!

I am guessing your top 5 Speedies list will not be changing today Best regards

That's easy. A straight lugs ( CK 2298 or ST 105 002 ), the CK 2998 Blue and White or Black and White, the Alaska Project ( vintage better but not realistic ) are my favs. [nt]
