here is the Sm300 big triangle date from Vietnam arrived and really happy of what I get , a clean and nice watch , a nice 1039/516 , a case in good shape ( will not refresh it) a nice dial the glass was making it hugly, a decent bezel , let say a very good project , actually the worst part is the seconds hand will have to source a tritium one.

Will ask the museum tommorow with the serial from where it comes , a bonus will be delivered to a US military shop in Vietnam .

 

Congrats @Fatcat.
Here is a 165024 BT I sourced 3 years ago from the original owner, an Aussie soldier who served, and purchased the watch, in Vietnam. He wearing the SM300 in the pic.

 

Hi Gemini thanks, hope there is a cool story behind , found already a hour and minute hand in tritium , need to source a second hand in tritium and it will be perfect .

 

Sometimes on eBay they come out
Nice watch

 

Congrats - Looks like a fun project.

Is that the one harryfromhanoi picked up at a pawnshop in Hanoi and flipped on ebay?
