    Hello everyone

    I guess most of us are sourcing some nice DON bezel. Someone made me an offer for one. I'd like to have your opinion. Can this one be considered as in very goof conditon? the traces on the edges are not dings but the rest of the watch. I can't show the entire watch for privacy reasons.

    thx

    Why can't you just let us see the whole watch? It is an obscure picture to look at.

    Important to know whether the bezel has dings. That takes any very good condition bezel down a notch in my book.

    yup, a little dark
    I tried to ligthen it a bit. I can't show the watch because the seller asked me not to. no dings, just a lack of black above 225 and between 65/70

    That’s a nice one. I’d guess at least 3500 in the crazy don market.

    I don’t understand, is somebody removing this from a 145.012 (or similar) to sell separately? That seems weird right? Wouldn’t they make more selling the whole watch even if it’s damaged? I’ve only seen DONs for sale sans watch.

    I would quote this as a good one. Hard or very expensive to get better ones...

    There is strange things in this world... should not be normal that some watches if you dismantle and sell it by pieces, worth more that the entire watch....

    Hi guys

    thanks for your opinion. The thing is simple. I let you thinks that he was selling only the bezel which is not the case. As strange as it may seem, the guy is selling a very average watch but the DON bezel as strangely survived. The case is full of dings. the case back is heavily polished. I'm not sure he really knows the value of a don Bezel.
    I would, may be, want to take this DON for one of my watches and sell the rest for parts or keep it in a drawer waiting for the time when a dial will be worth one thousand zilliard euros ;)
