Early 40mm diver bezel question

[jbcollier]

Are the external bezels in any way available for an early 40mm Diver (Diver auto, Enicar in Saturn logo, old hands with the "snake" seconds)? Thinking of one with a couple of issues and the bezel would be the most serious one I'm guessing.

Have you got any photos?

Bezels of most of the models are pretty hard to come by but not impossible.

not impossible, but cost half the value of the watch (when you find one)

I am also asking for pics, but I have the feeling you are looking on a specific ebay auction

Oops, the delay is not due to subterfuge but to laundry -- a dirty business, I know.



Yup, an ebay auction. Bezel looks wrong to me and the crown is as well.

Thats the one I had in mind

In this case it could be impossible to find. It's a very early one, without the red ring. That means it has a special bezel, that is a bit wider than the one with the red ring to fill the gap to the crystal.

I figured it was an early one without the ring. Early enough to have a bakelite bezel?

 

[JimJupiter]

No, I just know Diver 600 in 40mm with the bakelite bezel yet. The bakelite bezel was parallely produced to the alloy one it seems.

Thanks again.
