    I am looking for a decent condition "DN90" bezel for my 145.022 project.
    (Black BASE 500 bezel with dot next to 90) as shown here:

    Send me an offer with pics if you got one for sale. Any leads are highly appreciated!

    Note: I am looking for a worn and "not perfect" vintage one. Not a replacement/NOS/modern one.
    I can get replacement inserts, but that will look incorrect on an old and worn watch IMO.
    :confused:

    Good luck in the hunt.
    I believe these bezels are on the way to being as difficult to find as DO90's.
    After all they are just as important on the right watch.
    Thanks for crediting the photo - my view is people are welcome to use my photos with a credit!

    Appreciated.
    We are still trying to rescue the original bezel. Problem is that someone trying to act as a watchmaker had glued in an unoriginal plexi. They did not only glue in the glass!
    :whipped:
    I hope a DN90 will not still be as expensive as a DO90 one.
