That's the point. The 105 002 is a 2998 with a different reference, that's the fun of this Speedie. [nt]

What is everyone wearing today?
Wishing everyone a bright and sunny Speedy Tuesday. Thought the Moonshine would be appropriate for today as it has become my favorite modern Speedy 😉 ...
I love that Moonshine!
Getting ready to do some traveling tomorrow, so I'm warming up my favorite travel watch. Kent ...
Nice GS. As for the Moonshine, see below...
weighs about the same as a gold Daytona but feels great once on the wrist and sized. Does not feel heavy at all and I actually enjoy the solid feel of gold and platinum watches 😁 ...
Bright Speedmaster
I like the brightness. Dark grey, black, is too dark for me. I want the sun in a watch. 🔆
Have to say, I was iffy on the idea of pink before I saw it in the metal, but the effect is terrific.
I actually traded in a Kira-Zuri LE for this, and have no regrets. (I had more than enough blue dials.)Now if only GS would start making bracelets or supplying straps that were commensurate in quality with the watch itself...
You are not alone there mon ami 😁...
For not being a Speedie fan, you sure know how to pick a grail Speedmaster 😉
Momma Mia 🔥🔥, wish you would have let me know about this one when you had it in your hands...
As I responded to Raymond above, the Moonshine would be my preferred MODERN Speedmaster. Between the Moonshine and the Silver Snoopy as I really love that as well. As for ALL Speedmasters, past and present, it would have to be between a NOS 2915-1 or 2998...
My Professional pick . . .
. . . would be one of the chronometer references. And to think I had the opportunity to pick one up in '07 for $9K. With the matching white gold bracelet. 😢 Well, at least I can wear a more common Omega chronometer . . . . . . with rhodium markers. On my ...
Inflation to account for, too . . .
. . . 9 large then would be double that now, at least . . .
I like the broad arrow hands and steel bezel of the 2915-1 more as well as the alpha hands of the 2998-1....
I believe the 105.002 also came with alpha hands but I might be mistaken, just have never seen one with them 🤷♂️
Yes alpha hands. At the contrary of the 105 003 which comes with baton hands.
Here is a 105 002. ...
