Re: Bezel
In Response To: Bezel ()

Hello Amer,

Very nice watch...if it's yours...congratulations. I still have the opinion these manual wind versions are not appreciated enough.

And this one is just looking great, very crisp dial. For what concerns the bezel I think it is not original to this watch, but I do believe it is an original Heuer bezel as Alex and Shaun already pointed out it is from a Skipper.

If these (manual wind Sifferts) came with MH or Tachy bezels doesn't matter at all I think, as long as it is completely original and no aftermarket bezel. Ofcourse the blue bezel is difficult on this one but it can always be possible that it was installed by the request of the original owner or during a service when the retailer had no correct black bezel....

The discussion wether it has to got an MH or a Tachy bezel is not worth a decent discussion as these bezels are so easily to remove...the retailers at that time could easily swap an MH bezel for a Tachy bezel (or otherwise) if requested by the customer. Again...as long as it has the black colour and it is 100% original...I could perfectly live with it!

Anyway....I even feel like the blue Skipper bezel is doing great on that wwatch ;-)))

Cheers,
Abel.
