Not having had as good a week as Blomann obviously has, the end of the week (and the end of the month) can't come soon enough. Trying to lift the mood a bit, wearing this today - May everyone else, though, have a good Friday and a good weekend: particular...

great watch and great cake Richard.

even the icing matches the lume on that beauty. BTW, an sm300 is not 300m WR. it was only ever 200m rated. there is a reason its called a 300 and its to do with the position in the range. just remember that when you want to dive past 200m one of the advan...

After those outstanding ones, my poor refurbished (with original parts) SM 300 feels like ... a great watch, just because it is. (Seamaster 300 - 166.0024 - Picture "Lomo" style / The support, of course, is a PO) A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo...
