Re: Mid-size diver case differences

Hi Ed the 013 movement and dial will not fit in the case with the silver bezel as it is a larger case and the dial for it is AFAIK a 28mm dial whereas your 013 is 27.5mm. If you wish to sell the case with the silver bezel let me know.

A while back, I picked up this 980.013L from EBay and have been on
: the hunt (unsuccessfully) for a replacement bezel.

: I've since picked up a couple of cases (thinking I could just
: transplant the dial movement), but they are much thicker. These
: were both sold as Heuer cases and the black bezeled one has a
: 980.020L caseback (obviously not correct).

: So, the questions are:

: Are these thicker cases original (or are they later Tag versions)?
: Are they possibly pre or post 'L' cases?

: If they are original, what movement would they take? I'm happy to
: transplant the original dial and hands onto a new movement to
: fit into one of the newer cases.

: Any help or guidance much appreciated.

: Cheers
