Hi
I have the below De Ville with a missing bezel.
I’ve tried in vain to identify the exact model ref. And would appreciate any assistance in identifying it as well as the bezel part ref and / or dimensions if possible.

Please see photos below.

Thanks in advance

Looks like a 166.033 to me. You will have a hard time finding a bezel for it. The common recommendation on the forum has been to have a bezel made for it, but it may not make sense economically.

I’d say 166.033 too, they’re pretty common and are among the De Ville front-loader variants that can suffer from having lugs bent or snapped off, so it is could be worth looking around for a damaged case to harvest the bezel from

Hi guys, I found this one. The seller ask 260usd for this 166.033. You could take the bezel out and sold the rest for 260usd haha
