Omega Seamaster 300

[NCRich]

One of the first watches I ever tried to build. Just a basic stock Silix case set. A Rafflestime dial, hands, and a gen swiss 2879. It was pretty good for a newbie modder wannabe.

I was never satisfied as all the gens looked like this:

So I finally decided to see what I could do. I relumed the dial, aged the hands and relumed, and replaced the plexi with a SK high dome. But the insert baffled me. I finally took it off the watch and carefully removed the white paint underneath with a manicurist qtip and some acetone. Repainted it with some watercolors and sealed the back side with lacquer. Matte sprayed the dial, and most importantly the shiny plastic insert. I think its much better now.

Relumed dial and hands

Finished watch

It is way better now, well done!

Nice job. I think you should age the hands a lot more!

Love! Super unique look, I don't think I've ever seen a modded Seamaster on here before.

Wow! This looks great. It's awesome to see some vintage Omega on this forum, the sm300 is right up there with the sub imho.

Hello! Wonderful work on a rare piece my friend! I just searched Rafflestime web page and saw all Seamaster dials unbranded, how could you order one like yours with the Omega logo? Thank you!
