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!

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...

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...
