Incoming <<= Omega Speedmaster CK2998 =>>
Hi all,
yesterday I received my new Omega CK2998. I must say, I'm totally excited and fascinated. The dial, the proportions, the size.....real great. The original leather-bracelet immediately went into my drawer and I mounted a grey-brown suede-strap. Love the combo! Enough words now.....here are some quick iPhone shots :-) Perfect with a blue suit Different angles, different light... And one last shot..... |

I truly love the watch. i love the deep blue panda sometimes it looks more black. It's not a typical boring watch the watch really pops! The size is just perfect. Very elegant and sporty. This might be my current favorite in my collection.

Thanks a lot, all!!!
For those, who are actually thinking about gettin' a CK2998....Here are some more pics to show the beauty of this fantastic watch: It's so great to see the change of the dial and colour from different angles... dark blue Blue is changing to a bit lighter blue depending on the light and angle... The deepth of the dial... And a CloseUp... |

Clean panda dial, sword hands and lack of crown guard is a classic combination that is just hard to beat.

Would this be the 1564/975 bracelet or the 1565/976 bracelet? Sincere thank for the info! I am trying to figure out their difference aesthetically, aside from pin vs screw.
