Yes it defiantly makes the $ worth it! if it didn't match up I would have been extremely disappointed. Sad to hear about your SM300, that's my next diver.

Yes that 300 still haunts me, loved that watch and ended up having to break it for parts...
...a costly exercise all around!!

The first Oyster from 1931 already had the crown on the dial and had different hands. Even the case and crown look different. Is yours even a much earlier model?

Evening swap and another new strap trial.
Newly resurrected Lemania ref 912-5 caliber 3000 suits it rather well IMO.

Hi, 32 million


Snap (32.2M mine; same model). I'm speculating that it actually dates from late '71 or so.. Would be interesting to know if the new Moonwatch Only book knows when the highest recorded serial for this model (32.8M) actually dates from...
