Omega

In my opinion, one of the 2 best straps for this watch, Matt.

 

It is perfect for the early SM 300.

Well done, Matt.

Best,

Vintage SM 300 Octopus

Hi all, I managed to find a NOS 19mm Tropic strap to fit my SM 300 to give it a true authentic spirit. I played with my strap combos and created this SM 300 Octopus so I took some pictures to share with you. I hope you enjoy, thanks for looking. Matt...  

Should be called "Hexa-podus", not Octopus :-)

Hi Matt, Should be called  "Hexa-podus", not Octopus as it has only 6 arms...  BTW nice pictures of a great watch! erich This message has been edited by mac_omega on 2010-11-21 02:18:55

I agree with you. Actually it is incredible how much this watch can take different personnalities depending on how you strap it up, and they all look good! By the way I added the 2 missing legs to the Octopus. Matt

Aaaha, Matt?

The different straps really add to a personality change I just so one the other day with a mesh bracelet. Total different again. Best Hans

its food to experiment Matt, but the tropicals arent my thing

out of the 4 you've shown i'd stick with the stingray. it gives a classic vintage piece a funky edge, a whole new personality. if i didnt have the original mesh bracelet for mine i'd be experimenting my butt off, but 19mm is awkward. its either 18mm sligh... 

thanks Graham.

variety is nice, the ones I am missing are the bracelet but I am not a big fan of bracelts in general, and te leather Nato for this one, but 4 options is more than enough! Matt

you can never have enough...

you can never have enough variety, but 4 ought to be sufficient for now. G

Hi Matt... nice bands... but ...

Hi Matt As opposed to you I prefer the Omega steel linked bracelet like a 7912 or a 1035 ... Either way its a classic watch that can be worn with just about any strap that can fit the case. Good Hunting Bill Sohne

Forgive me as I am not as well versed with this generation of SM300, but why do the numbers on the bezel switch directions? I haven't seen this before now, or at least have not noticed it. I recently had a bezel redone by Aldo in Italy, and the numbers re...
