    Looks correct and the bezel is rather nice. The big question is whether you like the dial/hands. These come in so many shades of patina, aged, and water damaged. There are plenty with some type of dial wear and relatively few that are crisp and all original. Likewise, price plays a big role. Before buying any sm300, just make sure you like it.

    Overall it looks correct and in decent shape, but the lume colour would put me off.

    Dial needs a check with UVlight. Hour hand (at least) is imo relumed.Tritium should be olive-green .I can not see, if the case is polished.....(sides)

    In my honest oppinion it is not relumed at all. I have seen many ways how tritium filled paint ages. As tritiumm is powder added to a paint (lacqer) and can age in many ways depending on the conditions (sun, damp,used lubricants etc). And even it was relumed, was done in the past with tritium, UV wont help in decision I think.

    Ahh, thanx, it is US cal550, that make a sense then.
    The hands it`s a bit mystrery, as last seen batton hands on 165.024 I know about is from NOV 66. An unicorn you have there! And my guess is, thah you have Naiad crown on it :)
