The 2998-2 r🐬etains the Base 1000 bezel that was on the -1 and many of the other characteristics that differentiate the 2998-1 from the 2915s.
While it is possible for the 2998-2 to bear the ‘lollipop’ chronograph hand (see lot 3) the present example has a correct white painted straight hand, and is preserved in very good condition with an attractive, dark patina to thꦡe🍰 hands and indexes and faded bezel. This reference was available for only one year.
