: Hi Guys,

: As promised here are a few f300 pics. (No
: Particular order )

: I bought this one as a "donor" , the
: seller said it came with box & papers.
: He wasn't kidding. it even has the original
: Hang-Tag ! It has a personal engraving on
: the back for long service in a company &
: to be honest, even though the watch case is
: not in great condition ( the gold plating is
: almost completely gone - look at the upper
: edges of the case) I don't have the heart to
: break this package/watch up.

: Somebody ( Alex Cogle ) has been awarded this
: watch , worn it with pride ( A LOT !) &
: kept everything together, for a long time.
: It was awarded in 1974 & I bought it
: about 30 yers later.

:

:

: Next up was another that I bought as a
: "donor", but when this one arrived
: I was just amazed at the condition. So this
: one's not getting broken up either !

:

:

: After this I finally found my
: "donor"... or did I ? - Nope.
: Again it is too nice to break up ;-)

:

: So by this stage, I've almost given up on a
: Donor. I saw a blurred pic of a Gold
: coloured f300 with what looked like a
: "horrible" dial, so I homed in on
: that one & bought the next
: "donor".... Guess what ? I don't
: have the heart to break this one either. I
: mean, just look at it.

: Don't you just love eBay auctions with bad
: blurry pics !

:

:

: Isn't this just an amazing dial. I love it.

:

: SO , some of you may be asking WHY does he
: need a "donor"... well I have
: another f300. This was my first & was my
: original "target". (it's not the
: assymetric D cased Connie - you've seen that
: before ).

: I bought the one on the left here 3 or 4 years
: ago.

:

: It doesn't run, & the hands are "Not
: quite right" see how the minute hand is
: showing 9 past and the hour hand is about 10
: to.... "not quite right". &
: there a chip in the crystal at 02:00 etc
: etc.

: I have no idea what is wrong with the movement,
: but a "donor" could be useful
: here.

: The watch on the right was another
: "accident". a friend of mine bid
: & won it. To save postage costs he had
: it sent to me. It is NOT the same as mine.
: look at the case, where the bracelet
: attaches..... Hmmmm so now I have to buy
: ANOTHER f300 :-) ( Oh dear, what a shame,
: never mind )

: And there are also black dialed variants of
: these watches... so even more Yee Hah !!!

: I never intended starting an f300 collection,
: but somehow, it just seems to have happened.

: Now guys, Show me some more !

: S.
My apologies to all, i was intending on taking part in the photo oppotunity, but having just arrived back from my 12hr night shift and realising that my partner has taken both camera and memory stick for day out with neices and nephews, i am a bit stuck for taking any pics.
I could i suppose try a lengthy descriptive process regarding the shape. style and condition of my f300's but i fear most peoples attention span would not bear it!!.

A special sorry to Steve who had started this, sent me instructions and offered to host the pics.
Also to Steve, i wanted that Megaquartz Box !!

All joking aside, if you need any help with the f300's Steve drop me a mail.

Regards to all Keith
