Missed that nice Mil SM300 while beeing on vacation. Couldn't find a thread about it here either. Hammer price was 19.500 GBP so it seems like Mil SM300 prices have dropped significantly this year?!? However, the auction text states replacement movement but the serial number fits perfect to a 70ies SM300. Extract of the archives would be interesting to see.

That was a member's watch if I'm not mistaken.

 

My guess is they tried to get an extract but it didn't match up.

 

Not a bad price when you add the fees considering no archive replaced movement

 

Hour lume indices look strange to me. Too far apart from the edge of the dial. Any thoughts on that?

 

So is this watch classed as a frankham due to replaced parts

 

The term is “Franken” taken from Frankenstein.

 

Yes sorry would this watch be classed as a franken watch baron

 

Probably just wrong crystal / tension ring. Dial looks ok to me.

 

It all looked fine to me but not just no extract, they actually tell you the movement is not from an issued watch.
Parts only.
