I love the retro look on it. One of the Omega Ad told me that they can probably get me one after September.

Great picture. I would say the CK-2998 is the best looking one of the class. I love the fact that it only has 2 lines of text on the dial. But it also shows that is is a lot smaller than than the standard moonwatch. It almost looks to be sized in with the Daytona? Basically a Speedmaster reduced size-wise? I hope they offer at the standard moonwatch case size in the future.

Yes, lack of crown guard will give you the smaller relative visual on the CK-2998. By far, this is one watch where people will give nice compliment from the guy on shake shack register to office mates. They're like wow dude.. nice watch!

The CK-2998 is really beautiful due to it's simplicity. It really is very much like a modern version of the Rolex 62XX "Paul Newman" type of design. I am really turned off by the multiple lines of text on the modern Daytonas. It's like they have to tell us this is a great watch. It would look so much better if the Daytona went to 3 lines of text. "Rolex", then under "Cosmograph" and then "Daytona" wrapped around the bottom sub dial.

The CK2998 case is actually identical to the First Omega in Space....so this would be your standard Speedy Pro version....which actually is a lot closer to the original CK2998:
