Several things don't look right about this one
Hi Hoi,
this watch has several well known signs of a fake SM300.
It has 'stubbies' - these are the tick marks on the dial that continue right through the lume patches at the hours to the edge of the dial.
The loops on the 6 and 9 are fully closed - on the genuine dials they are slightly open.
The 'A' in Waterproof on the caseback has a pointed tip. On the genuine casebacks this 'A' has a flat top.
These two pics are from genuine SM300s, albeit recent ones, not vintage.
If you google for 'hall of shame seamaster 300' you will find a website dedicated to educating about fake SM300s.
I would advise your friend to pass on this one.

It is a classic vietnamese fake ...
... sorry, but the only genuine part is the movement . If you send the serial of the movement to Bienne with 75 CHF cost, it will turn up to be originally mounted in a DeVille, or similar. BWs Franco
Thank you everybody.
Thank you everybody. I sent this link to him already and I am sure he will stay away from it. Well, in the future, I may buy one of two Seamaster 300 to get some knowledge, I guess. Regards. Hoi.
