Hi eveybody, I'm Cedric, a 22 years old french student who lives in Paris. I collect watch since 3 or 4 years, especially vintage watches. Here is my Omega Speedmaster CK-2998 from 1960 : With the original Omega Stainless steel bracelet : With a dark brow...  

So, you made the plunge and you decided to join us here, obviously? Not a big fan of the Speedie, but this 2998 is one of the few exceptions I appreciate a lot: Straight lugs, Dauphine hands, small and elegant case, that is one of my fav Speed. Looking fo... 

Thank's for your message Nico. I should be back in Paris next week. It would be nice to have a drink with Thomas? See you, Cédric

I think I spelled that correctly, I'll need to check my Larousse French/English dictionary! Welcome, Omega ROCKS!! =:^{D> Vive La Suisse!

Hi Cedric, a very beautiful CK 2998! The dial is in stunning condtions! Is it a -5 or a -61 or -62? Actually I do not think that the bezel is the old correct one. It is a later replacement bezel. You can see that at the size of the numbers and especially ... 

and the hands appear to be later replacements as well. Overall though still a very nice watch.

Hi, According to the caliber's number, this Speedmaster is from 1960. I do not have the original caseback, so I don't know if it is a 2998-1 or -2. The hands are aftermarket. Omega has stoped the production since 1971. The bezel is a later Omega part. Bes...
