Best base to do mm300 build

Post by salamander »

hello

I've searched around for mm300 builds, they're quite old dating back to 2022/21 so I thought I'd post here for the latest.

I am tempted to put an OEM dial on a chinese mm300 build. I know the dial are sometimes £150+ but I wanna have the heart of the watch genuine.

I'm just curious as to who has the best case/movement combo on mm300 homages. I heard there are multiple ways of implementing it, some of them aren't great with how the crown stem seperates and can be difficult to use.

Feedback appreciarted thanks

thanks, there seems to be shortage of proxima mm300, even their own website has shortage. I can see that heimdallr/sharkey has very cheap mm300 homages which has a more acceptable logo than a bloody unicorn.

I am guessing it's worth keeping an eye out for the proxima version?

Depends if you want to wear it on a bracelet or not.
The sels or end links on the heimdallr are just awful with huge gaps. It's because of the case shape. If however you want to put it on a NATO it's fine.

ok thanks for clarifying, i love nato straps. But always get my watches on factory bracelets because its quite hard to get just the bracelet later. Ill try and find a promixa one even used off ebay if need be
