    I would restore my Speedmaster, 145.022-71, at present with an incorrect bezel, a B5.type with wide C and marked E, about 90s:

    I would like your advice about these 2 B2 type bezel, which match to my watch reference.
    I have some doubt about one of two.
    The first one, I think really original but with a dent:

    The second one, more dubious:

    The second looks with more thick fonts, especially "tachymeter" (on top the first one showed) but I don't understand it could depends from picture quality

    Bottom (on top, the first one showed)

    Dot close to 70 (on top the firs one showed)

    Unless you’re in a rush... I’d wait....

    I agree with your comparison of the two. It’s unfortunate the first has a large dent.

    Hi,
    I’ve got the same with thicker font that I bought as a DNN bezel. I was also dubious but I have read somewhere there was DNN with ticker fonts that are later later than thin font ones. Here is a picture of « tachymetre » of mine. I would be also pleased of advices of the community on these.

    There was variation in the thickness. I’ve seen no correlation to date.

    Wasn't there a Star Wars Speedmaster with Darth Vader's head and a talk bubble saying " I find your lack of faith disturbing." The bezel on it was....R2B2, I think.

    I think the bezel showed by @Raf006 is good, because the fonts are well defined without smudges.
    I agree with @Foo2rama.
