The perfect ageing process for...

 

The perfect ageing process for a seamaster 300 Alain. Sorry if my question came across in the wrong way, it was never meant to be critical.
I do know people who have gone by the 21mil movement serial number which in my experience with the sm300 is not reliable as all 3 i have owned, .014 and .024 have had 23mil serial numbers. That is the only reason i asked.

I have been very lucky with my 1964 collection as apart from a couple of pieces all my Omegas have -64 after the reference number. Also all my single and double crown super compressors have the month-year code and both my Rolexes have quarter-year codes.
Other companies are more difficult which is why i have several english cased gold watches. You cant argue with an assay mark :)

Best
Graham

The Ploprof is an impressive beast, while we can say that the 165 024 is almost elegant. Nice pair. Best, Nicolas

Lovely SM 300

They are both iconic pieces within the diving range from 60's and 70's. The SM300 a piece you can wear anywhere at anytime and the ploprof a real tool which should still be up to its original job description. There seem to be a lot of 1964 sm300's. Can i ...
