These really are such great looking watches although the hands all look a bit too fresh for what was an issued old watch. Marc
I’ve always been partial to the omega SHOM 200… I think I might actually like to own this one
The Big Triangle is such an attractive variant of the early SM 300 watches. This is a magnificent example! And Military markings add to its interest and charm. Thanks for sharing my dear friend. Buen fin de semana amigo mio! Abel
