Just joined the CK2998/1125 bracelet club. Had to take it to the Swatch Group Service Center to get the right spring bar, but they installed it for me for free and no questions asked.

I wasn't sure I would be okay with the difference in metal texture between the lugs and bracelet, but so far I'm not bothered by it and I'm really liking this watch on the bracelet.

Speaking of case backs, wondering if anyone has thought about a Preik sapphire case back for this one?

pretty late to the party but here I am... had it for a few days and am totally loving this watch.
pretty sure at some point I'll want to try something new for the strap as many here have and just started poking around... anyone tried the ck2998 on the brown strap that comes with the FOIS? any other nice OEM leathers in this size people know of? anyone tried 20mm instead of 19mm? I feel like the internet selection seems better in that size.
endless possibilities with this one I think...

Been a while since anyone posted here, so I thought I'd help resuscitate it by posting a lume shot I took this weekend

I’m about to jump back in having regretfully had to sell the first time round -I’m Paitiently awaiting delivery as I type. I beleive this one will go up in value in the same way the 35th anniversary Panda did so this time it is a keeper. I don’t intend to mess around with bracelet this time, it looked good but the bracelet is poor so I’m sticking with a leather strap. I’m still conflicted however as to which colour looks good. It strikes me that it must have the white/silver stitching to maintain a match and its sportiness but I’d welcome any other examples that you folks have tried and tested

Omega has some decent NATO strap options
