Black Bezel: Must be from the Art Department
In Response To: With a all-black bezel too ()

I am guessing that the all-black bezel is coming from the art department, and not from the factory. We have never seen an all-black GMT bezel [although perhaps something similar on a later Argentina Air Force GMT . . . will need to check the files]; we have seen many instances of the art department doing its own thing, perhaps when the photos did not turn out as well as they had hoped.

Love the red needles in the advertisement!!

: Great find Jeff, interesting to see the bezel insert is all black.
: I wonder if this was an art dept. error, or they were real.
