Good day forum members
Have been offered this through a seller from another forum.
Authentic DON bezel and insert or a later Mk or service part?
Would appreciate your expert advise.
Thanks

That's the Dot Under Seventy. Aka the current bezel or at least from 1990 through???

This or very similar would be the current service bezel.

Yup. The tell on this one is the fact that the dot isn't over the ninety. 😉

If only it was a DON - in that condition it would be worth a small fortune in these days of DON mania !

So what you're saying is that the definition of DON means Dot Over Ninety 😀
