Few B-2 questions:

1. The newer B-2 version, the one with the Super Luminova dots of the dial, does it have a polished version or just brushed? How about it’s bracelet, should it be polished or brushed?

2. The old versions of the B-2, all polished, does it have the top of the bezel brushed? I am asking because mine, who I purchased second hand does not. I want to restore it to original.

Thanks guys.

1. There is only brushed version with 892A brushed Fighter bracelet.

2. Top of the bezel should be brushed and this model also has Super-LumiNova.

As mentioned, the bezel on older B2 should be brushed (see first pic below).
The fighter bracelet should have brushed center links with polished outer links (see second pic below).

Thanks guys. So the top of the bezel on ALL models is always brushed. OK.

There are 2 fighter bracelet models.

1. 874A used on the older model with center link brushed.
2. 892A used on the new model and it is completelly brushed.

Are those 2 statements correct?

Great. Thanks. Only the top, not the sides of the bezel, correct?

I think you'll find that the 892A has polished centre links and brushed outers.

Basically the 892A is the mirror opposite of the 874A

Re the bezel; yes only the top is brushed the side remains polished as seen here. (Thanks to FineTimepieces.com)

Hope this clarifies things.

Correct.

@ Imcgbaj
Sorry, I made a mistake, didn't notice polished center links on 892A.
