I saw one for sale on eBay recently, if it鈥檚 the one I think it is the buyer did state not genuine. The description was:

Omega 1967 Speedmaster bezel..
Taken from a 1967 Omega Speedmaster that I used to own.
It was removed during a service, it looks great, was never loose on the watch but was replaced with a new one.
It will fit other Speedmasters, I was told the insert is not genuine, although it looks fine to me when compared to a friends watch, but, please bid assuming the insert is not genuine.

Puts the OP in a slightly different context, but hope springs eternal. 馃榿

Hi, I just bought this bezel on eBay. Described as being from a 1967 Speedmaster.

Should this be a Sticky?
Opinions on some of the techniques used to counterfeit (don't answer if not already public knowledge).
I know! that is a possibly taboo area. Moderators?

There is thread here. The first bezel shown on the above thread was far better than the one shown on this one. However the new Speedmaster has a DON bezel which is very close to the original anyway. It makes reproductions a little redundant.

The question I asked here was whether the bezel looks genuine. I did communicate with the seller before I bought it but I don鈥檛 think it right for me to comment on our conversation so I鈥檝e purposely focussed only on the bezel - position of dots, typography, etc. Hope this makes sense 馃榾

Haven't seen this DON-bezel before.
The seller accepted a return and it鈥檚 back up on eBay. Listing title and description have been revised.

Hello Omegafans
I have seen to many bezels in the last days and I feel more unsure now, than before. (Sorry for my european english鈽猴笍). I have an authentic Speedmaster 145.012.67 but the bezel was exchanged and I do not know, if its correct.
Is ist a fake/ aftermarket, or a newer Omega Servicebezel, or an original part for this model?
I would be grateful for a professional answer

Start a separate thread and post a single good high-resolution photo showing the entire bezel clearly. Nobody wants to look at piecemeal sideways photos.

Your "authentic" 145.012 has a 105.012-66 CB mid case.
