Hi All,

Purchased a decent rail track dial constellation 14393-3 that has a hairline crack in the bezel. Looking to source one but have questions on which would work.

Is it safe to say any bezel from the 14393-X family would work? Also read that possibly the 14381 reference could work as well.

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks in advance

Unicorn poo.
So I’m guessing by this response. Only a bezel from a 14393-3 would work?

No, I'm not saying that, but any orphaned gold bezel would be a miracle. Another option would be a repair, or fabrication of a replacement. Over the years, that's what people have usually done, and that was before the price of gold tripled.

It’s a stainless model. If I have to purchase a case (there is a 14393-5 case on eBay) I will go that route

Photo would be nice to show the cracked bezel to underscore importance of carefully inspecting the bezel

My old iPhone cannot take great pictures and an overall picture of the watch does not show the crack well (or frankly at all)

Thanks these can be difficult to see on photos for sure.
Good luck with your search

Thanks! Do you happen to know if my understanding is correct that a bezel (or case) from any of the 14393 series would work?

I don’t know answer but if you find a case and it doesn’t fit you can just resell it.
I probably wouldn’t spend to have one fabricated.

That’s what I am figuring as well. Thanks for the insight. I know these come up here and there, and I’m not in much of a rush

there was a member on here who made a small amount of replacement 14381/14393 bezels a long time ago. Could be worth searching if they have any left.

Any idea who that was? I’ve searched both references previously for all the results and didn’t see anything posted like that.
