    I know the seller. He sold me an Omega Seamaster Pre-Bond and when it arrived it had a strange rubbing or scratch on the underside of the crystal. to his credit he offered me a full refund (which i took). I spoke with him over the phone a few times and he's a nice fella, but yes, this particular auction is wishful thinking. I do not think he is even aware of the Watchcos.

    ^Wow, someone paid for the privilege of destroying the value of an original sm300. I wonder what Omega did with the original parts.

    These and the Anakin are very difficult to find in perfect original condition. The cases are prone to chipping and I find even a slightly chipped case very ugly on the wrist. From what I have seen the hand sets are also often changed out too.

    This one I like, apart from the price of course, the case is in great shape and although the dial indices are a little corroded and hands a little faded they are original and could be freshened up quite easily if desired.

    My chrono hands have faded from orange to a yellow which I really like and wouldn´t change.
