I thought I should pull the trigger before the prices are rising to "unobtonium"...

Well, it is not a perfect example due to the deteriorating of part of the lume on the bezel, but I think the rest is quite OK.

It also has the period corrrect bracelet 1039/516 from 1/68 and movement serial matches too.


Took this picture with some sort of ligh tent, but taking fotos of these black dialed beauties is still a PIA

Here is another one without light tent... hence the reflexions



Thanks to Kim (@kox) for the guidance!

Now I will have the "hard work" to find a better matching bezel...

 

Wow, nice sharp case!

Is it a Watchco?

 

Jim, was this a rhetoric question?

Of course not - all original! And keeps perfect time on a first trial period... but will be serviced soon to avoid future damage as service history is unknown.

 

Good catch!

 

hope you find a better bezel.

 

Very nice !! Congrats !
Another option is to relume the bezel

 

No, a joke of course. That case looks to be in excellent condition.

 

I like it. These SM300 were tool diving watches and should look like this! Enjoy

 

Beauty catch! And personally, I would leave the bezel just as it is

 

Very nice example of a hard watch to find

 

Love it mac! Leave the bezel!

 

Beautiful specimen. Don't touch the bezel.
And mine says hi!

 

I see a perfect vintage example, what are you whining about?

Keep as-is IMO. It has an unique look. It's a tool watch, not a shiny golden dresser

 

Lovely looking SM300 enjoy .

 

Great looking 300, congrats.

 

+1 on keeping the bezel. It is consistent with the rest of the watch.

 

bezel ok for me as well...... I just sold the plexi bezelinsert a few weeks ago.....kind regards. achim

 

Beautiful! Personally I'd keep that bezel too.

 

Lovely looking watch, never seen a bezel where just the tritium markers & not the white minute markers have been affected before, wonder what caused it
