How about here to keep it in the house? 馃槈 Should we petition the bosses to allow some sort of open bidding in the Sales forum? I'd love to see something like that happening.
Its something we've been putting some work into, but we're not going to be bringing it in until we've got it right. For now eBay for auctions and FS here are straight prices.
So is that bezel confirmed as original?? I.e not a replica?
I'd be fairly certain its not a replica knowing the source of the watch
Best of luck. I suspect this will go for more than I'm willing to spend even though it would look very nice indeed on my watch.
You don't describe it with much detail, which is probably fine since those willing to bid at the insane levels I expect this will go for will know what it is. Search performance may improve if you included the reference numbers this bezel is correct for: 2915-3, 2998-1, 2998-2.
One question, did you take steps to make the colors as accurate as possible, i.e., set the white balance? I'm struggling to see the actual color of the bezel since it seems to vary a bit by shot. Even if just here, a shot in sunlight would be interesting.
Cheers
Just thought I'd let anyone interested know that we've put the bezel up for auction on eBay. Please let me know if I've said anything incorrect 馃榾
Now, let the sharks circle! 馃槣
Look at this on eBay:

Omega Speedmaster Tachymetre Base 1000 Bezel
It looks like a bit of an adulterated watch to me. Case back suggests pre moon ie before 1967 but dial doesn't fit that age. Could be a service dial. Chrono hand probably replaced as have crown and possibly pushers. Bezel from much earlier model if it's real. If it is real it could be valuable but odd to see one on this later piece.
Just my thoughts but hopefully some more experienced members chime in here.
