Just picked these watches up from ADs
The watch is worth waiting for...



Together with the watch, they gave me a Rolex cap..wow



Then, my wife got this Omega LE.



So happy with the watches

Thanks.

One of the few Omegas that actually looks better than the Rolex IMHO... now if it were only 42mm for my 8" wrist!

Congrats!! Amazing day for you and your wife. :-)

That's the CK2998 a.k.a MiCKay because in the dark when fully charged, the superluminova chronograph lollipop hands whether stationary at the 12 o'clock or sweeping across the 12 creates a sweet lume of a Mickey Mouse logo ! It will always put a smile on your face

Sir,Can you tell me the colour of the lume on the dial and on the ceramic bezel ? Is it all green, all blue or a combination of Blue-Green ?The Dual Colour lumes of hour/minute hands or hands/baton markers of the CK2998 are the rarest, most sought after and worth a lot more than a monochromatic lume
