This reference is magic, and a bit mysterious as it is a kind of transitional one, between the CK 2998 and the ST 105 003. Made only during one year or two. Rarer than any other CK, being 2915 or 2998.

Add a nice patina, like this one, and you have something magic, mysterious and rare.

There is a point where patina becomes corrosion. This is that point (in my eyes).

. . . although I have doubts about the pushers and, to a lesser extent, the crown. But the 'face' is altogether original, in my humble opinion. πŸ€™πŸ»
