Hi, Im looking to buy a full size SMP...i found this one for a fair price. 88mm serial #, still had red dot on back and comes with box but no papers. I was told that the current owner bought the watch from the original owner. The He valve looks good, the hands look good....i think the crown guards and crown look good, but Im not sure....suggestions and comments please...also it uses a non standard Speedy type bracelet (which i like)....

Help!!

 

Hi,
for me this one looks legit. And it seems to be in good shape.
But a no-go for me would be the Speedy bracelet. Nothing wrong with it, but it just does not belong to this watch.
And be prepared that this one may need a service soon.

Cheers
Thomas

 

Hi Thomas...thanks for the reply...I like the bracelet, but agree about the potential for a service, Thanks for the comment!

 

Yeah, it looks like the real thing, I actually like the bracelet, better than the standard issue anyway IMO. I also like the wave dial, it works well on the blue smpc .

Enjoy it!

 

If you PM me the full serial number I'll check to see if it matches the model it's supposed to be.

Cheers, Al

 

Think it looks great on that bracelet even though its not correct to the watch number.

 

Yep, bracelet belongs to a sword hands or electric blue SMP. And I don't think the wavy dial Bond goes up to 88M serials (but sword hands and electric blues do)

Possibility that this is a sword hands or electric blue modded into a wavy dial bond?

 

Thank you so much for the feedback!

 

Just to follow up, I passed on the watch. The seller definitely said it was an 88mm serial and that fact, paired with the lack of service and the red dot set off a red flag. If it was a modded watch, no issues, but the red dot said it was never opened.

Ill just wait for another one. Thank you for all of the comments!
