Please, can I know what the correct bezel should be for a 2915-1? Which reference is this one mounted correctly? Many thanks, as always.

I was afraid of your answer!! 😀😀😀
I've never seen one for sale in forum. There was once a bezel and hands lot at auction for $30,000. I'm not considering any plans within my means. Thank you very much.

An alternative is a service bezel which was used on the 57 broad arrow. Obviously it’s not vintage or original but might be an idea as a stop gap

Good idea. I'll look for some photos to compare.

Can I ask you what year and reference you think the bezel fitted would be suitable for?

It’s a DON bezel and looks genuine, although sharper pictures would confirm.
Speedmaster 1962-69 (2998, 105.002, 105.003, 105.012, 145.012, some early 145.022-69)

i actually have one! - this hen’s tooth surfaced a year after i gave up my 8 year search for one and just sold the 2915-2 with an aftermarket bezel after giving up hope. there are a number of unpublished tells about the manufacturing process, dimensions, and machining marks on these that only appear on the real deal.
