Missing a bezel and misdescribed as “relumed” still made £25k plus 31%
I suspect the extract will come back as RN because the movement number is one digit away from my own 1970 issued one.

Dial is fine Joe, auction house doesn’t have a clue.

Is it a MOD replacement? The hue seemed a bit odd.

Perfectly normal for a 69/70 Big Triangle ( BT) SM300.
They do look odd when you see them for the first time, quite jarring seeing really green lume and mustard coloured hands.
The lume is also quite smooth on these, very different from normal.
Mine is below.

That’s a beauty.

I have a non issued and it’s just yellow all over. I’ve always dreamt of an issued one though.

Here is my SM300. Another example of those strange lume combination.

Do you know why exact these late models have this color combination?

Funny that one of my SM300 (this one is not a BT) has the exact reverse lume color combination (custard dial plots and green lume on hands)...

I have always assumed it was different manufacturers, slightly different mix.
If you light them up, torch or black light, the dial/hands/bezel light up exactly the same, fade exactly the same, very cool.

Yes absolutely. I also wondered at first how much I had them. Here is a video of mine 😀


But strange that this only seems to be the case with the big t models.

I love this issue - I have no idea why Omega went for a soft, rounded minute hand over this sword style minute hand.

The 2254 should have had the PO minute hand on it from factory.

You mean seconds hand?
