I am partial
I have managed the series of four (quads) with a little bit of cheating substituting the 2915 with a 2998-1 with lollipop chrono second hand.
Just as with the Three Musketeers, one has indeed to remember that they were actually four in the Broad Arrow family: The three from the -masters series plus the Ranchero. They all have wonderful amber colored radium indexes and hands.
As Blomman rightly stated there is also a beautiful Lollipop series of three to be made in the -masters series but only by substituting the 2915 with a 2998 1-3.
A deep black mat flawless finish is for me more desirable than a brown one. It is simply in better condition and closer to the original.
As for the price I wouldn't comment much. I feel it is only justified that those wonderful watches follow the steady evolution of their Rolex counterparts. After all Omega have at least as rich a heritage when it comes to chronographs. We are talking about the flagship of the make in their best and most original forms.

The Omega Speedmaster of my dreams. CK 2915 or CK 2998?
I would say CK 2915, just to achieve the holy trinity. Something like that: I was thinking that, due to the fact that prices reached the sky, maybe it would be wiser to go for a CK 2998. Then I started to pay some interest to the CK 2998, and I fell on th...
What a trio ...
I don't mind to get a Tetanus shot (rusty metal is the perfect environment for the Clostridium tetani) after wearing any of those! The "chocolate" one is to die for. To mimic you, "Why not get the trio"? Cheers, Nilo
That CK 2998 is astonishing, really...
...albeit i would like the first speedy. the hour hand is everything. happy new year Nico. Ciao
Ah, a dream of a post for me! Thanks for showing those three wonderful watches! My ranking
...1) 2915, 2) 2998 Lolli 3) 2998 Chocolate. But then of course we all know that it is all about having the three of them. If we take it back to the rusty level, it would look like this (no chocolate in this series): 2915-1 2998-5 2998-3 ...
Oooh yrs, a train which left the station some 10 years ago, for the 2915.
Much more recently for the 2998. Which is our mistake. We should have seen it coming... Best, Nicolas
All Great watches you show Nicolas! 2915 would be my Speedy Grail but ...
... as you well say prices achieved lately put in an unreachable level now. Then the following favorite reference would be the CK2998 of which the lollipop variant makes my mouth watering. You know I got a rather battered example of the 2998 former issue ...
I would pick them in the order that you posted with the incredible 2915 at the top ...
Sadly, prices have reached very high levels now, even for 2998's in good condition ... but these early Speedy's are just mesmerising. I am curious what Omega release this year to commemorate 60 years of the Speedmaster -- perhaps an ode to the 2915 from t...
The 2915 would of course be my natural choice... 2913 / 2914 / 2915... That's pretty alluring.
Now as stated, the prices are insane...
