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.....

Just picked mine up last week and have fitted it on a bracelet. Like the suede strap you've got. Where did you buy it from ?

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.

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.
