    Good morning everyone,

    I am sure this question must have been asked countless time, but being new to the world of collecting Omega Seamaster, I wanted to know more about the bezel of the 1957 Seamaster 300:

    * Was it painted black directly onto the metal with numbers painted in tritium over it?
    * Instead was there an insert?
    * If there was an insert, in what material was it made of?

    Thank you so much for any enlightened answers to these basic questions.

    Best,
