Yes,the 242 s rather close to the 98 ....

..... BUT, .....

The 242 is a 45mm double crown Radiomir.Only 300 created in 2006,thats it.No more.Also a very accurate Jaeger le-Coultre movement.Its still available BNIB,at very fair pricing,for such a limited production PAM.Once those few are sold,it will only be available on the used market,forever.

If you can grab the 242,do so.IMO its one of the sleepers,if not THE sleeper PAM

Rethinking.... Because you have a 98 - I think you did the right thing... Do you really live in Siberia....?
