Seamaster 300 for Friday...

By the way....Looking forward to seeing your finished PO OSRep!!!

That it is. I found it over on watchuseek. Some buy sold his PO on Rubber and forgot he had the SS bracelet...yoink - I'll take that if you don't mind! It made a big difference in the fit and finish category...

+1

Hmmmm...Ploprof...not quite my cup of tea, too heavy duty...too much wrist presence.

Agreed. Fit is kinda funny. I'll work on that tomorrow.

Me too...I didn't notice all the dust until now...I guess I should have cleaned them a little better...

Ok, here are some proper pics of the Finished NOS Seamaster 300

Just finished up my NOS SM300 and thought I needed to take some new pics:

I've got the 565 too! I've changed the date a couple of times on accident.

I've never been that big of a fan of the mesh...but to each their own...

Nato is not a bad option. When I go camping I always switch to a Zulu or Nato for the added security.

I didn't know that the 1171 had screws at some point...that'd be nice. I like the lume, chefcook also noted the non-matching lume. He was going to relume to make them match. It didn't bother me as I knew from some watchco reviews that they wouldn't match. The hands add a bit of color to the all white markers on the dial.

1171 does wear nice! Good luck on the hunt!

Sweet! Looks good man! I kinda like it on the speedy bracelet! I saw another one on a Speedy before and liked it! When did it come in?

Thanks woof! It took me a little while to get it wearing comfortably. It was a combination of removing links and moving the quick adjust pins in and out until it was there, but now it wears really nice. And is keeping really good time. +~2 seconds/day. Not bad at all! I am keeping a log so we'll see if there is any fluctuation! Any word on yours? Hopefully it'll arrive today!

Loving the NOS SM300!

I still haven't had a chance to shoot any decent pics, but here are a couple of quick close-ups. I am hoping to take some better ones when I get home!

Well I just picked mine up from the watchmaker. I can't do a good photoshoot at the moment, but here's a quick wristie...

That's awesome! Very Funny!

Congrats Red! Best wishes to you are and your bride! stupid autocorrect

You got it! Hopefully I'll be able to give a full wristy soon!

Good to know! It's too bad that the factories didn't make it the same size as gen...

Here's the Pugwash tutorial: Click Me

I would think so....I used a rat tailed file to get the rep tube out, and then epoxied around the inside of the case hole and the tube itself, stuck it together and tightened it down with a vice...Pugwash had a nice write up on this at one point...but it's an old post and hard to find...
