Re: Heuer 844 Monnin bezel question

Here are a few pictures of the one I've bought that I'm hoping to use the bezel from

Hi Steve..

: I'm not entirely sure what a 980.006n is, I'm not familiar with the
: 'n' suffix on a 980.006?
: As far as I'm aware, there is the thick cased 980.006 and the later
: thinner cased 980.006L.
: This is relevant, as I would say that a bezel from any of the
: thicker cased models will fit.. Ie. 980.006, 844 or any model
: with this case. One point to note, is that these models usually
: have tramline bezels - ie has a metal ring between the glass and
: insert. It's also possible that a donor bezel may sit very
: slightly lower near the glass, as the monnin insert is slightly
: angled. This lower inner edge isn't such a bad thing, as the
: glass will protect the insert from wear.
