    Hi all-

    I've been on the hunt for a nice SM300 and came across this one on the 'Bay:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Omega-Seamaster-300-165024-165-024-/121748948396?Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Dial has a nice patina and looks in good shape. Case seems ok. Comes w/ a bracelet so thats a nice bonus, but not sure which. The hands seem a bit newer, but hard to tell. My biggest concern is: The bezel seems totally unmarred, and looks to be a replacement.

    What do you guys think? Are there other things I should ask about?

    The hands and bezel look to be modern replacements (luminova). The bracelet is also modern. Knowing that, I think his asking price is quite high, but who knows what offer he'd accept...

    Dial lume plots look clumsy, may have been a bad relume job.

    Vaguely recall this being discussed in the forum somewhere, in particular the dial. Agree with the consensus that the relume is rather unwieldy.
