Bezel-less 2998 Speedmaster??
Hi All,
I bought this watch probably 10 years ago and put it away in my collection. When I bought it there was speculation that it was perhaps a salesmans sample. Years later I saw an identical one for sale on a site called Fitzwatch.
Just curious if anyone has ever seen one like it or knows any history. This is the first time since I purchased the watch that I have shared photo's. I did have John at Omega run a history, and his only note was that the bezel was missing, As you can see the back is stamped 2998-6, Mvmt. number is 189xxxxx.
Please advise if you have any insight on this watch.

Could this be the twin?
Thanks Bill! I did find the picture that I saved from the Fitzwatch site. The watch looks pretty identical except that it appears to have a " T Swiss Made T" dial.' As I recall, they were reping the watch as a 2998 also....

Hi Roger, personally I believe this is some sort of later modification (even if this might be the least charming possibility). If I'm not mistaken (hard to tell for sure just by pictures) the original case would offer enough"flesh" to have it modified the...
