    hi at all, hopefully I can get some new ideas.
    Im checking eBay, Swiss,German and US Forums and Chrono24 but got not lucky on my Don search.

    Does anyone can give me recommendations for hunting a Don or tritium hands?

    Yes checked all of them, mostly in bad shape, or if I ask for better pictures no answer.

    What kind of condition are you looking for in the DON bezel?

    There are a couple of near mint ones on eBay from the seller speed_meister. The photos are pretty clear.

    P.S. I have no affiliation with the seller.

    Agreed, I don't understand the OP's post. There are plenty of good DON bezels listed. Maybe he doesn't like the prices, or more likely this is just a backdoor WTB post for someone with only 33 posts.

    Of course, my limitation within the forum due to my post amount makes it more difficult to show my need. But I’m not willing to Post useless comments to achieve 200. further more I got a Rolex and a Breitling which would be also happy for some parts... that’s the reason for asking more hunting areas.
    Concerning eBay, sorry but yes 5000€ for a bezel is way to much for me. And it should also to much for everyone else. In my mind watched should create a good feeling under collectors like us. Money making should stay with the watch company’s.
    Just my 20cents

    The problem is that you are asking for the secret mushroom spot and you ask this to the mushroom hunter ... will never happen I guess ...

    If you are asking for a magical place where you can buy a DON bezel for less than the current market price, then you are asking for something impossible. Either pay $4000-$5000 for a top-notch DON bezel or buy a damaged one for less. That's the market and those are your choices, whether you like it or not.

    I bought a damaged one for few bucks and I am very happy with that. You should do the same. Ok, the bezel is completely passed away , even the colour is dead , but it does the job !

    Garbage bezel. Best bet is to ditch that one. It's not even a 220. ::facepalm1::

    For a perfekt one, no worry if you can pay this, enjoy. I just don’t like scratched, backed, bent bezels with an, in my opinion, unrealistic price segment above 2800$! People heat up their bezel to make it more attractive for potential buyer. - wrong way as I mind.
    Used condition bezel should not exceed 2000$. If so, ok. No need at all! I was asking, easy at is, for more options. I know very well the German and Swiss Homepages, and sellers which offers good condition pieces on fair prices. the US market is new for me and Assumed, may there some typical places out there which I don’t know. Sorry for asking.

    There is one on the OF sales forum right now. https://omegaforums.net/threads/pre-moon-omega-speedmaster-dot-over-ninety-don-bezel.82295/

    I have no connection to the seller, but I purchased something from him previously and was completely happy with it.

    Im allready in contact with andy, fair price for a good condition. Thankyou anyway!

    Even if somebody may suggest, the reason was really to learn some more places for hunting.
    There a much more parts Im looking for, but time will come after the magical 200. I will post searches then.
