A Base 1000 Bezel, in any condition, is in demand. These bezels were only made from 1959-61 and are absolutely necessary to correctly finish out 3 of the most collectible Speedmaster references (2915-3, 2998-1 and 2998-2). Many of these references lost their Base 1000s during service and today's owners want them replaced. Others potential buyers might purchase this bezel in an effort to build on of these early references. As the price of these references continues to rise, so do their seperate components.

$5000 for anything non essential is obscene - if I start to think about it.
Fortunately, like a group of drug addicts skulking in the corner, we all accept each other's warped sense of where is a right place to spend the money our wives don't know we have.
I only wish it were easier to assemble a 2915-3. I've been searching many months for a proper wide oval O dial to replace the service dial on my 2915-3 pictured above. I'm still searching for that dial but very pleased this more correct version arrived today 馃榾. The base 1000 bezel is nice as well!
