    Ok I know this is a bit hopeful but...
    Looking for a DON bezel insert for my 1968 321. Any condition considered and whole thing not just an insert if it helps. Please help!

    I think with the prices for DO90 bezels at the moment, you might be better off looking for a donor watch!

    I've seen a few 69 speedies go for reasonable prices, with DO90 bezels - it might be cheaper to look out for one of those, swap the bezel for a DN90 then sell it on for not a lot less than you paid for it.

    hope I'm not stating the obvious, and I know butchering watches isn't too kindly looked upon, but might be quicker and cheaper?

    I managed to pick up a 69 recently for $1900 with DO90 - the bezel is far from perfect, but I've seen a lot worse.

    Thanks. Are bezels all interchangeable?

    That's a question for the more knowledgable guys - I've never swapped one myself, But I think so from what I have read?

    Just thought I'd mention it as an alternative method of sourcing a bezel.

    There is a pic of the watch I got in the link below, the bezel is a little worn, but I like the look of it, and I can't complain at the price.

    To my knowledge, virtually all Speedie Moonwatch bezels are interchangable provided the watch case and bezel are true and not damaged
