    Got this beauty back from the watchmaker today. Serviced and regulated, hands have got new filling to match the dial, and a new crystal. Ready to use as a daily beater!

    And with the perlon strap on, who cares if the back is scratched, when it´s beautiful where it really matters? I don´t, for sure :)

    Very nice Martin. We don't wear it the caseback side up anyway.

    I just picked up the same strap! Wish I could find a 300 like that though.
    Beauty!

    It is truly beautiful, and goes exceptionally well with that colour perlon in a way I wouldn't have been game to try myself. If you ever feel the need to let it go, I would love to be standing first in the line of people waiting

    Seems almost like 80% of the casebacks get scratched up eventually (unfortunately)

    Again one hell of a SM300. And the strap fits very well. Definitely a LIKE!
