Hello friends!! I wish to share the timepiece I am wearing this whole week end. It is a recent catch, which came to accompany my ref. 2913-7 I got a few months ago. I was delighted to find this example of a dive watch which is rather rare down here. But a...

It's rare to see one like yours. Here they show up from time to time but all have some replacement and modern part, in special the bezel and case back. The strap is also a nice complement. Cheers, Nilo

Not all, but a lot of them, yes, I agree. Will come back with something " new " later.

... iron artifact under the watch and the background adds to the beauty of your timepiece. I rather prefer dial without date windows in my watches. Anyway, Omega SM300 ar so rare here, I couldn´t be picky this time. I keep looking forward to your came bac...  

Better without date, yes, but not uninteresting. You will find a no date, for sure!
