Id been wearing the SM300 all day and tonight i noticed a tiny bit of the bezel had lifted up

So me being me I got a razor blade and very slowly prized the bezel out after alot of going very slow I managed to get it out gave it a clean and I had some gloss black paint in the shed so resprayed the back of the bezel not perfect but alot better

 

IMHO
I would have left it alone..
But.. as you say, you being you..

 

I do have a better bezel on the way

 

Great to hear - Congrats! These darn old things are loved and have character as they are.. They also have a value as found.. But when altered, it's all out the door..

 

A B-type like this one? They are rare... (https://omegaforums.net/threads/seamaster-300-bezels.36357/)

 

yes its a b type same as the one whats on ive been asking around for months and one of the guys i know has one not cheap but its in alot better condition

 

Contrary to conventional wisdom, and regardless of the fact that you may have de-valued the bezel somewhat: there can be a great satisfaction in improving something aesthetically yourself that goes beyond money. So kudos to you for a job well done. It does look improved.

 

Definitely looks better. Job well done in my book.
