The prices of original ref. CK2915s made in three different series between 1957-1959 are now worth six figures. Omega Replica estimates that 4,000 to 5,000 CK2915s were made, and only about 20 of them are in "perfect" condition. The other 50 are considered "so-so".
When buying, be careful. Omega Replica recently received a CK2915-1 - the first reference - but the watch was incorrectly equipped with the wrong hands, bezel and luminous material. What appeared to be the "best 2915 ever" was actually something that "no museum could touch."
One sold at the highest level for PS230,000, another for CHF280,000, including the buyer's premium. A collector paid CHF200,000 for a private auction.Rolex Replica Watches Petros believes it is worth higher prices. Phillips sold the 2915-1 on 12 May for CHF 408 500 against an estimated CHF 80,000-140,000.

Walter Schirra, Gordon Cooper and others bought their Speedmasters at the Houston Watch Show. Cooper had owned an Omega Replica since 1956/7. He received a 14k gold version when he graduated from pilot school. He bought an Omega Replica when he was in need of a new watch (Omega Replica). Schirra tested his purchases in store for legibility and literally "shook" each chronograph to death while trying read it. The Speedmaster was a success.
In its four-year lifespan, eight variants of the CK2998 were produced, each with a sub-reference numbered CK2998-1 and above, which are distinguished by their "alpha" hands. The minute hands can be different in length, if they've been replaced, but only the ones with the tips that reach all the way down to the minute graduations are correct. Price ranges are wide: one sold for $100,000 in the past year. At Phillips' Geneva auction, a CK2998-3 commanded CHF20,000. A CK2998-1 minus a bracelet sold for CHF62,500.
