Hi All,

I thought I'd celebrate 200 posts by trying to hunt down a part that I've been looking for for ages!

I have a Bucherer chronograph with Lemania 1341 movement, exact same model as the Tissot 45501 and Lemania 9803. Love the watch but it's missing the inner bezel since service from a previous owner. I think the inner bezel really makes this watch and am very eager to source another one.

Any inner bezel from these models would be welcome, NOS or used, the standard black colour is preferred though. I'm also happy to pay extra for a bezel + crystal set or even a full case (mine's a bit overpolished in any case) if you have a bezel that is installed with these other parts.

Pics below for reference. Thanks in advance!

If it is the same patent as Omega Seamasters with Lemania 1341
the inner bezel is a part of the crystal. Maybe one of them can be
used on your watch. Good luck馃榾

Thanks for your input! Much appreciated.

We've looked into bezels from the cal 1040 omegas, without success I'm afraid. The closest candidate seems to be the 176.007, but the tolerances are slightly off (176.007 had outer crystal diameter of 36mm, vs 34.98mm on the tissot / lemania). So this case is relatively unique, which of course adds to the challenge...

Still looking - any advice from the Tissot / Lemania experts out there would be appreciated!
