    Hi, Im looking for a bezel for my 145.012-67. Mine is original but has many 'scares' and other chips. Should I change it for this one or another DON bezel or is it better to leave the original? This is on eBay..

    This is what I mean by DON. Sorry, might have been the bad lighting on the original photo. Is it better to keep the original bezel or swap it for something like this.

    Those are two different bezels.

    Whether you change an original but worn DoN bezel with one in better condition is entirely up to you. If the rest of the watch us in good condition I could be tempted to switch. However, if it's all bashed up then a similarly aged bezel is more appropriate.

    If I did switch, I'd keep the original safe so I could return it to its original state.

    Yeah i think your right. The bezel on mine suits the watch probably more so than the NOS bezel.

    DON bezels are rare, and therefore currently massive overvalued. There are two for sale on eBay. One has 2 days to go, and the bids are now at $760.
    I own two speedy's with a DON bezel. Both are rather "patinated" as it is called nowadays. :) I don't think that a better looking bezel will increase the value of my watch by the amount that I have to pay for it. But if you want to change it for cosmetic reasons, and you think it is worth the money., then go for it. Personally I would leave it as it is. [emoji3]
