A Short Break with the SM 300
Admiring Graham's SM 300 with its thin bezel gave me the idea to take mine off the safe, and to spend some days with it.
So, during a very short break, I too it with me ( among a few other watches )...
Here's the SM 300 in Holidays!
On the mandatory flying Jacket...
In great company...
Ready to fight against the spider...
Graham, it is your fault, my friend, now that I saw yours, I also want one little sister for mine...
Definitely, a watch is not made to be kept in a safe, but to have life on the wrist!
Best,
Nicolas

Thanks for the nice words
Would find peace of mind when I get this bloody SM 300 with the thin bezel... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-07-15 08:17:52
The combo will be great once I get the pair
And the same SM 300 as yours! Best, Jeff. The Greedy.
Superb photos of a superb watch!!
You're pictures are making me miss my SM300 even more!! Mine should be back from a quick trip to the emergency room. It has to be sent off after a brush with some H20. I'm happy to report that there was no damage caused by the water intrusion. I'll post p...
Thanks, Joey
The SM 300 is a very lovely watch, indeed, and strangely, we don't often speak about it... Thanks for your nice owrds, my friend. best, nicolas
Great choice!
Really like that distressed leather strap on yours. Mine hasn't been out in a couple weeks, so joining you today!...
I think I can find a nicer strap for the SM 300, mrsnack
But I need to make a pause on this matter, because I just bought 16 straps for the JLC and the Blancpain FFs ... If the distance between thze lugs is 20 mm, I already have the solution, but I think it is more about 21 mm... To be checked, then ..followed....
Nicolas- Straps can be changed
Which is the fun of having a lot of options! I got mine with the standard-issue the Omega bracelet. Had the opportunity to get the mesh, but liked the originality of that bracelet. Turtle is in my back yard, next to the pond. My passion is more for leathe...
mrsnack, do you have an idea of the strap size between the lugs?
Curiously, I'd say between 20 and 21 mm... What do you think? Aaah, the Vintage FF??? Be careful, my friend, these are addictive watches! Best, and thanks for your kind words. Nicolas
For all practical purposes, 20mm
And those Blancpains do look addictive! This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2009-07-16 08:42:44
Great pictures...:::))
no watch should be in a safe - at least not all the time They should be enjoyed Cheers
Aargh!
The vanilla indices are to die for! This watch is lovely. It almost makes me want to start collecting vintage pieces. Thanks for sharing! Daos
Agree, Daos
The SM 300 is a very dangerous watch, with a strong appeal. Trying is is adotping it, sister. After the Longines Legend Diver, it may be an affordable solution... Best, 666.
an SM 300 deserves a holiday every summer
i copied you by getting a 165.024, so now you want to copy me and get a 165.014! does that mean that you want to display a pic like this sorry for the pic quality, but it was a quickie taken before the service was done and before i got the bracelet. i'm g...
Damn, you bloody Devil form Wales!
Still tempting me, eeeh? I HAVE to get one! Best, my friend, and thanks for the inspiration and temptation! Nicolas
Haha!! i'll dangle it...
Haha!! i'll dangle it in front of your eyes with a 'not for sale' sign on it :) if i ever see one on offer i'll be sure to let you know just after someone else has paid for it :) Best Me
The wrist shot is "Exhibit A" in the case for . . .
. . . a one-watch collection, Nicolas . . . cordially, Art
Hmm . . . either you're pulling my leg, mrsnak, or . . .
. . . you're holding out on us ;-) . . . curiously, Art
No, I have only one Rolex
I was optimistically assuming that it now qualified as a "collection."
Jeez, I can't remember it! Funny how the Omegas . . .
. . . stand out in my memory, but the solitary Rolex doesn't . . . I must be an Omega guy at heart! Embarrassed, Art
I can barely even bear to wear it...
LOL. Actually, I like it a lot. Nice mid-80s Datejust....
Aaaah, but, Art
The problem is that I have 2 wrists... But I have my idea for the 2d wrist... Best, Nicolas
Thanks for your nice comments
Even if this watch deserves better pics... Will work on it. Best, Nicolas
What a nice break !
For me no watch has to be put in safe ! Compliement for the quality of your watch
Can't agree more, Marco!
But I have an important rotation... A great pleasure to put on the wrist this great SM 300. Just hope to find a little sister for it. Best, and thanks for your nice comments. Nicolas
