    With the prices of these bezels skyrocketing, I figured I would list one for sale and try and take some money off of the table. $3000 PayPal Gift, includes free Insured Fedex Shipping anywhere. I am located in the US.

    Bezel has no major bends or dents, but there are some areas where the surface has some scuffs. I tried to take pictures from multiple angles to best represent what it looks like. See photos. IMG_6120.JPG IMG_6121.JPG fullsizeoutput_44c.jpeg IMG_6123.JPG IMG_6124.JPG

    Crazy price. Sorry for saying this but I just can't help it. If it would have been mint ok but in this condition?
    Some scuffs??? Funny.

    You are entitled to your opinion but, I promise you it will sell either here or on ebay. Its actually priced $1000 less than the perfect one that did sell on ebay for $4000.. And it isn't in bad shape at all. You should see some of the "ghost bezels" being worn by members on their watches on the thread titled "ghost bezels" to see how bad they actually can get..

    I dont know if this is a serious question with nearly 2000 posts to my 100, but this bezel is for Speedmasters produced before 1969.

    Wow...yes it was a serious question. I'm not sure I got a serious answer. One thing is clear ... I won't be doing business with you.

    You seriously dont know what watch this bezel goes on? You are on an Omega forum with thousands of posts on DON bezels and you are asking me what watch it goes on? My answer was accurate and to the point, had I told you a Rolex submariner or Tudor Snowflake then that would have been sarcasm.

    Now my feelings are hurt that you wont be doing business with me. If I apologize then will you?

    This bezel, the Dot Over Ninety, "DON" will fit a 2998-3 thru the earliest 145.022-69, approximately a 10 year duration of Moonwatches.

    Please see under "other watch brands"

    https://omegaforums.net/

    There are certainly other sub-forums apart from just Omega, and even with the vintage Omega section itself, I'm sure there are a lot of the regulars there still not familiar with the complexity of vintage Speedmaster bezels (Base 1000, DON, DNN, 220, pulsations, telemetre, vintage/service replacement).

    Chill your farm, good luck doing business here.

    Thank You Dre and Gemini..

    I was just somewhat in shock that someone with 20x my post count decided to come into a FS post and ask about what watch the part was supposed to fit on. To me it seemed peculiar, but I have chilled my farm and am OK now :)

    FYI, If you have issues regarding the quality or price of this bezel, start your own thread (or message the seller directly). IMHO, the sales thread is the proper place for questions but not criticism.

    Ok, but would you come onto a FS Post and ask a question about what watch a part was designated for or would you send a PM, do a search on the forums or Google it? Just odd to me..

    Not everyone uses their Moonwatch Only as a pillow like I do.

    So Page 123 in MWO shows this as 1961-1970. Since you pissed me off, I took some time to pull out my own copy of MWO. I just figured I'd save myself some time and ask the seller, less than 200 posts BTW, a question since Speedmaster has not been my area of focus (although I own two). So I will totally OWN being lazy. I think you need to perhaps read "How to make friends and influence people" or perhaps recite the golden rule a few times. And yes have a gander ... These forums are about more than Speedmaster and Omega.

    I apologize for my reaction on Varnodo's DON bezel. It was completely misplaced. Anyone has the right to ask whatever he wants.
