··Prolific Speedmaster HoarderBased on the most recent sale I think that is nearly $20k of bezels... I'm partial to the grey ones.
Only one of the bezels in the OP is approaching high quality. The best one might breach 2000 on eBay, but it does have the damage between 85/90.
The rest would sell well, but $500-800 might be more realistic. Perhaps even 1000. However the value of these lesser bezels are like all lower quality things dragged up in a rising or bubbling market, where the shock of seeing the top quality sell for astronomical prices panics people into buying something on price alone. ("Oh look how cheap I bought this for"). When the dust settles, the poorer bezels will be judged on their attraction alone, and be found wanting.
These lesser bezels may well have further to go, but really in the long run it is only quality that retains its value, and while I am amused by seeing degraded bezels, especially attractive ones, they loose the appeal if they are a lot of money.
The bezels that achieve over $2000 are almost always black, and for the most part undamaged. These high quality bezels in my opinion will continue to $5000 as long as the demand for 2998's is strong enough to support the auction houses selling them for $30,000+.
....now watch for the next hot bezel....the tall TACHYMETRE DN90 !
