That bracelet has seen quite an hard life, and for that price a definite no go for me. And you need a picture of the stamps inside the clasp to know better what your buying.

Tropical is one really good way to go. Makes a black dial and patina even more in the centre of attention as the bracelet doesn’t steel attention from it but still looks good and vintage correct for the SM300.
This looks amazing!!

I second JanV’s opinion here. It does look like this has seen its fair share of action. If you could get the seller to drop the price to reflect this, it could be a match.

I just ordered the EOA, I’ll keep you posted

I wonder if I’ll learn anything on the caseback engraving...

Hi
Little update that won’t give much info I’m afraid...
Still no idea what the caseback engraving might be...

At least it’s probably the original movement

I found a bracelet for sale locally and I just got closer pictures. From early 67. Asking price 1500€
Any particular details to look for to spot potential traps?


I don't like these 516 end links... 🤔
