Hi Paul....

Thanks for your comments... I also red somewhere that people (as you mentioned) could order a different bezels... I bought this from the son of the original owner who said this is how is father bought the watch... Not sure but I do like the MH bezel better then the Tachy bezel, this one is not as busy and easy to read....

Thanks, Craig

: Craig - the bezel is not correct as far as tradition goes however
: we know that there were bezels options (MH and Tachy) and in
: some cases customers prefered to choose a "non
: Standard" option. This looks like a correct 1163
: decompression bezel and therefore contemporary to the model. It
: also has the patina of a bezel that has been on a watch for some
: time so it may well have been specified by the original owner.
: Its a different look, somewhat less functional than the
: traditional bezels but certainly worth keeping if you decide to
: change it for the tachy bezel.
: Great find though.
: regards
