    Hi all, long time reader but new member.

    About a year ago I purchased a 1973 Deville - 166.0161 - stainless steel - mono case
    It was an auction purchase with poor photos, but decided to roll the dice.
    Thankfully the watch was in pretty good condition, but has clearly been tinkered with - the bezel is missing (presumably broken) and the hands show some signs of abuse.

    I was wondering if anyone had any tips on chasing parts up?
    Any tips on where to start?

    Hard to give bezel dimensions, as I don't have the original, but...
    Outer Diameter ~35mm
    Inner Diameter ~32mm

    Overall its quite similar to this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/184865336148Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    One alternative is certainly sending your watch to Omega for service. They will update the hands and they might have or be able to make a bezel.

    Thanks for the suggestion - certainly an option..
    For simple parts like these, and on a watch that has already been tinkered with I was hoping to source the parts myself.
