I saw a picture from Basel of a Skyracer with what looked like a black bezel... or was it just bad lighting?
Anyone heard of this?



There are few intresting pictures of what appears to be new dials on a few ones here also

I see what you are looking at. I think it is just funny light. The bezels on a number of the Lings looked like that including the SA they showed.

The bezel looks like it is new. Looks like it has more "grooves" around the outside of it. Comparing it to pics of the current Skyracer, the current one looks like the bezel has one groove on either side of each number on the bezel. This version has multiple grooves.

As, previously pointed out, I don't think it is a black bezel, but rather the lighting that gives it that effect.

It looks different to me. Maybe some Blacksteel treatment?
