Ive got a sm300. One of my grails for many years. Finally found a piece I could afford 馃榾 Without the bezel though, if anyone is sitting on one C-Type, let me know.

Congrats!

If you like share some more pics and tell us more:

How did you find it, can you tell us more about the condition (lume, crown etc)?

Thank you

It looks nice, but bare in mind I recently sold my spare bezel on eBay and it went for 拢1000, so I hope there is a fair bit of budget left over. They are hard to find!

Congrats, I genuinely suggest that after cleaning that gunk you would just wear it "Brando" style.




It might grow on you that way and hopefully make it your own special sm300, instead of it sitting in a drawer untill you find or can afford a good condition bezel.

Hopefully I don't get chastised too much for my heretical thoughts.

That's a great looking 300! Perseverence will eventually pay off but as @simonsays says ( 馃槈 ) finding a bezel is now a very expensive task and you are going to need a cracking bezel to do the rest of it justice.

Yes well thats the "only" problem or should I say a big problem. I have been following the bezels that have been out on the market for the last couple of months and none have been in a good shape unfortunately.

Any links or images of the bezel? It would be nice to see what I missed out.

Good catch. I hope that price was reasonable and you can get your hands on a bezel. Enjoy in good health.

That looks great. Beautiful find!

Has the Brando watch been sold already? What did it go for?

Cool, thanks for the link. Those photos of Brando are very cool indeed
