·...you beat me to it! But I thought (maybe like you) that the difference/definistions should have been obvious.
...that's what I thought too, at first... It's what I always would have thought: that it was replaced along with the crystal.
Something that is very commonly done, and as another member mentioned, worth about $300 in value... tops!
But as I have said, after some research, after speaking with the original owner in Mexico, I couldn't say either way.
But that's why everyone is welcome to their opinion, and to offer what ever they think is fair 😀
two comments:
- 300 $ is not the price for a correct bezel, but the difference of value between both. You can then add about 100$
- after you did some research. Ok can you tell us what research. This more than 3 years that I did research extensively for the book, observed thousands examples, but never came to that conclusion. It reminds me a guy not wanting to admit that his 105.012 with straight lugs was in fact a franken...
the problem here is not a price issue, but the dissemination of erroneous information, which the takes time to rechange. For example, most people think that the first steel speedy with display caseback dates from 1980, all Omega books report this. Now we found that it's incorrect, but still it will be difficult to convince some people.
