Re: Change Heuer Autavia bezel
In Response To: Change Heuer Autavia bezel ()

Julien,

Im not sure where the MH Bezel you have is from, but with the pearl stuck on I'm not convinced it is a genuine one, so therefore may not be an easy fit (Stewart M) has experience of fitting aftermarket bezel inserts so I'm sure he may chip in, but there may be some work involved!

The Tachy insert you have is a lovely NOS item from what I know, so I would be loathe to damage it. Inserts for 11630 and 15630 are hard to get hold of, MH almost impossible, so my advice would be don't rush at it. Better to get an old worn bezel if you can and play with fitting the MH insert to that first to see how you go.
