Re: Oh, we of compromised bezels...

I found what was called a nearly NOS bezel, received it and it looked way too new, but fit nicely. Upon close examination, I convinced myself that it was a copy. The turrets (I don't know the word) did not have the same shape and the gaps were as wide as the turrets.

I'd love to find one with a little patina - to match the dial.

: that beauty but your bezel adds so much more charm to it!!!
