    Hi all,

    I think it is nearly impossible to find a NOS replacement Seamaster 300 bezel as it is quite fragile about the insert but I do want to get confirmation from experts here.

    If there is no NOS replacement bezel, how to restore those lose black paint and paint number??

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hans

    Are you referring to the thin bezel used in references 2913, 14755 and 165.014?

    NOS replacement bezel - impossible to find. I know of only one instance in the last 6 years of a NOS bezel existing and that was pure luck and will never be repeated again.

    To restore, Aldo in Italy is the best at this - his restoration comes closest to the original.

    There are lots of other posts in various fora attesting to his skill at restoring this bezel.

    This is his site: http://www.milwatchmaker.com/principale.php
