    Hi there,

    First post so be gentle and please advise if I am not supposed to be trying to sell in this section!

    I have just had my 1969 Speedmaster Pro refurbished by STS in Essex (awesome job by the way) and I am looking to sell the original 220 bezel that was on it. I know the die hards will give me some stick for not keeping it but the watch was my dads, he got it for his 21st birthday so I won't be selling it ever and wanted to give it the new look.

    If anyone wants one or knows of anyone who does please let me know!

    Many thanks.

    You're not supposed to be selling in this section.

    That being said, keep it.

    Altogether, it seems my post is entirely unhelpful. It is, however, truthful.

    Really is a very poor looking 220 bezel. My suggestion, for the present, is throw it away somewhere. Hang around this forum for a few months. Gather up 200 posts so you can sell within the rules. By then your beat up 220 can be renamed a cosmic 220, a earthy 220 or an honest 220. Then resist it for big bucks.

    Not having much luck locating owners with a 220 bezel, with serial numbers starting with 29111. As mentioned elsewhere I'm now confident this is the original bezel on my watch.

    Farmaco thanks for your message. I've sent for an extract. Using your ref as a guide, when do you think my watch was made. Red 29111550

    Mine is from March 1970, but they are not in sequence... possibly yours was produced in the summer.
