I recently picked up this 7149 while traveling. It was an opportunistic pick up as it’s been on my list, this was <$6k with 2yr warranty.. but the catch.. missing the bezel.

I realize patience is key.. but any recommendations outside of forums like this or ebay for sourcing? I’ll enjoy it without the bezel, but would love to complete it. 🙏

That is a nasty ding on the bezel retaining ring between 10 and 15. Do you think you would be able to get a replacement bezel to stay in place?

I agree. Unless the photograph is over stating the ding, the case might need to be repaired in order for a replacement bezel to be fitted or to operate normally.

The watchmaker I spoke to believed that the pressure on these bezels are on the inside, and it sits slightly above the damaged outer ring. That said, they could also fix the case on application if needed. They just didn't beleive it would be required. Just need to find the bezel first 🤷‍♂️

Have you tried eBay. I found one for $2,999. Not sure if you only want an original or perhaps you can find a reproduction?

Yeah I have been following those - there was a 7149 & 7159 on there, but $3k is pretty hefty and the black backlite isn't in perfect condition. I'd think about pulling trigger on $3k if it was pristine.

I think your best approach is keep searching eBay until you hopefully find one. I agree, the current bezel listed on eBay for $2,999 isn't in the best shape. Best of luck to you.
