Have never seen a leather strap on a SM300 from any catalogue.....best of luck....The original strap was the 1039.Just an added find.........
While we're on the subject, is there a generally accepted reference for Seamaster 300 and Speedmaster bracelets and endpieces, to give me an idea of which references had which hardware?
IDK if it's generally accepted but here's what I have. It's translated and Asian so..... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&langpair=ja|en&u=http://homepage2.nifty.com/speedsonic/urawaza09.htm
This is the kit and Ka-boodle ....it lays out all the straps that fit each/and or both......along with the endlinks required..enjoy http://www.ofrei.com/page1280.html .... http://www.ofrei.com/page838.html
I've often seen the following straps that can be worked to fit (1506 links 16),(1171 links 633),(1039 links 516),(1035 links 516) also others.
Respectable Member MyVintageOmega As for the ref 1506, the end-links come with number 16, as far as, I know. Thank-you.
Thankyou SM..... I edited my post to reflect the correctness. Also to the OP..... I have read that the Seamaster was in fact offered with a leather strap back in the day. Can't seem to find any Images though.
Respectable Member MyVintageOmega Yes, 'the SM 300 was in fact offered with a leather-strap back in the day', just especially for me, since I have never worn any watch with a bracelet. Thank-you.
