    :thumbsup:. If any bezel should get US$5K it's this one, looks pristine. Good luck to the seller.

    Basically we shouldn't touch a premoon without a DON with a 10 foot pole. I was looking at this, found a DON a bit scratched up for 1200€ and I thought "wow that's not a bad deal!", my GF saw the ad and told me that if I can spend that much on a "metal circle", then I definetely will be able to afford a nice "smaller metal circle, that looks like a ring". Shit, I guess I'm not buying a DON anytime soon :eek:

    The thing is, there's no need to even try to market a bezel that nice today. If you notice, it was just listed with a description and a 0.99c start.

    Ya see?... She's started already???
    Avoid the 'smaller metal circle' mate!:eek: Go for the DON 'metal circle' and place it lovingly on a 321 Speedmaster... and then place the 321 Speedmaster lovingly on your young, hopeful, optimistic wrist... and cherish it! ::love::
    ...In 10 years time it wont take your house, your car and expect weekly maintainance until your old and your sorry arse is ready to drop.:(

    I've been trying to upgrade the bezel on my Speedmaster for a few years now...but every day these reach new heights. Thats more than I paid for the damn watch. I guess this one will never be upgraded. :(

    That bezel is just too nice. When I look at a vintage watch I always look at how all the parts have aged. My theory is that they should all age together. For instance, that bezel on a dinged case would look out of place. I guess it could be a spare part that was never put on a watch, but if that bezel came off of a watch, it should have come off of a pristine watch. I think that I might have to start selling off stuff and buy another 911.

    I don't think the $3700 bidder has a dinged up Speedy case LOL
    The bezel is the first thing that takes a hit on these watches.
    You could have a perfect watch in all other respects and have a dinged bezel.
