lloyd Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Those are great watches. I have a gen date and non-date model. I build a replica to give to my uncle who lost a gen while sailing. It is his new sailing watch. I made it a milsub version with solid lug bars welded on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I would love one to vintagize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The genuine Omega vintage collectors must be going crazy now that such an accurate rep is available!! This watch was highly sought after by gen vintage collectors for years, and was also frequently "counterfeited" by some shady operators. Now...Everybody can have one!!...Poof!!...there goes THAT one's "cachet"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Vilmer Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think that it might look good on mesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I like it on a blue or grey NATO strap. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMM Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm a little confused about these. Did some gen SM300s have lumed bezels or did all of them have them? I've seen two gens in the wild and both had lumed bezels that still glowed a little. And they were both date models, but as I recall, one had a black on white DW and the other had white on black. What's correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 As far as I know, only the new ones have screw down crown and bezel lume. LHOOQ will know when they started it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Ok, who has the best source for these then? I may be looking for a vintage military edition for an upcoming trip. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I hear you. I'm even thinking of a sterile/vintage build just for fun. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre V Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 From Yukiwatch, this SM300 features a screw-down crown, creamy superlume, very bright plexiglass, Swiss ETA, T-Military Dial, no lume on bezel, uni-directional bezel Straps: Black Buffalo grain Gunny, Donerix black Cayman, Donerix golden tan Cayman, Canvas Green Nato Enjoying the SM300 for almost a year now, no plans to vintagize. Scratched the plexi a little but this is a beater, so it has been worn. Would love to thicken the T circle, and maybe a slight pops / elevation to the pain on the letterings. Along with my other favourite 5510 big crown sub 3-6-9-12... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Pre-V, Show off! lol I like it in the NATO but that brown strap is nice. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre V Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Pre-V, Show off! lol I like it in the NATO but that brown strap is nice. E LOL! Ephry73: Trust me, when it comes to showing off - the images that Ubi, w00f, vlydog, Donerix, they execute a much better job than me. On that note, the reason why I am posting these vintage SM300 is due to the lack of interest in these watches. Take a look at the Trading Zone, it is almost always a catch and release for these vintage SM300 projects. Is no one appreciating these under-rated SM300 these days?

Ephry73 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I dig the vintage one a lot. Just want to get a decent one. Ofrei sells "NOS" cases but the price alone scares me. Would love to find a nice viet case to make a Franken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
