·I'm currently looking at a 105.012 from a private seller, BUT it has a modern bezel on it.
Couple of questions here:
1. Any advice on how much it'd cost to replace that modern bezel with a period-correct bezel? How much should I expect to pay to acquire a bezel and the cost of labor to replace it?
2. How would I go about doing this? Would I find a bezel myself and take it to a restoration/repair shop? Or would a shop do both?
3. Is this worth doing at all? Wondering how much a discount I should ask because of this bezel.
Sorry, I don't have good pics, but to my eyes, the dial appears good (although not sure I like how the lume looks), the movement appears to be good, the case looks a bit polished (I'm not really seeing strong sharp lug lines).
Any thoughts appreciated!
