a few days ago, I posed the question (copied below) of whether the inner bezel on the white Cal 12 Montreals (showing tachy and pulse) should be white (to match the dial), or possibly black or blue.

my best expert has responded that the inner bezel on the Montreals should always match the color of the dial: white with white; blue with blue; and black with black . . . no exceptions.

there are a couple of "mismatches" currently offered on the internet (white dial with black bezel, etc.). It's always difficult to be certain of exactly what the factory produced (and didn't produce) . . . Let the buyer beware. Buyers should be particularly cautious where there are other signs that the bezel has been removed or replaced, for example, where it is not aligned properly with the dial.

Here is a white-dialed Montreal, from OnTheDash -- white dial and white inner bezel.

Did all the white-dialed Montreals always have this white inner bezel, or did Heuer also use blue or black ones?

Thanks for any information.
