Re: Bezel
In Response To: Re: Bezel ()

Hi Abel
I agree with you its look Great with the Blue bezel But anyway its good to Know the Bezel its original.
Cheers
Amer

: 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.
