    A replacment bezel for a vintage watch?

    Hi... Just got this Yema and delighted with to too! It's a fixer upper, but, has a clean dial (many on this watch are highly degraded)

    i'll have it service, chrono pushers sorted and the plexi cleaned, however, although the bezel is ok, it would be nice to have a fresher (but not new one) one fitted as it has the odd nibble here and there... It's 39mm across... Where would,I even start to look for something like that... Any tips would be gratefully recieved

    Hee hee... Not a chance it took nearly two years to find one that I was happy with that wasn't £1500!!!

    It was worth a try....
    on a more serious note, try messaging a chap on EBay, user ID: teddy4paws, he has had stacks of vintage parts on eBay over the last couple of years. I was able to get a bezel for my 1965 Breitling Superocean from him, I never thought I would ever get one!
    Best of luck

    Do you need a new bezel or a bezel insert? If it's an insert then this might be worth some investigation - it was for me.

    that's intersting! it came off as one piece, so, I'm not sure if it takes an insert...? It's in for a service at the moment, so, I'll investigate!
