Vintage Sm300 head count!

This one was relumed AND redone ( the black polymer that I don't know the name ... Bakelite ?) and the hands also.
The bezel restoration cost is 280 Euros (not cheap ... But the job is outstanding I guess ...)

Hmmmm...me now wonders if mine were restored too. Does yours glow or was it simply repainted? Any lume shots?

Any macro images would be great. @kox and I poured over my bezel, and concluded that it was original due to the 3d effect of the lume and other elements.

This one is not mine but from a watchmaker that is specialised in bezel restoration in France. About the lume, you can choose if you want it to glow .. A lot or not ...

Did you ever though about reluming the bezel ? I like yours but I saw such outstanding relumed job on bezel that might be interesting to look at ...
One example ...

It has been quite while without this watch..

Quite happy with this recent acquisition!





Ps: guys please give me and heads up if you know or happens to have a pair of original tritium sword hands for sale and caliber 552. Prefer a dark yellow or dark cream colour without crack.

Many thanks in advanced!
Ben
