Hi

I am new to this forum, but quite active on RLT and TZ. I have a lovely SO model 2005 dating from 1965, it runs beautifully and looks stunning, but it is missing it's bezel. Can anybody help me out with finding one?

Really appreciate any help

Rob

Say your post in the Buy / Sell / Trade section, but parts for these are hard to find. This isn't quite as bad as servicing parts which are virtually impossible to find real ones of because the watchmakers horde them, but I've not seen anything genuine.

It might be worth contacting Mark Heist at Horological Services in Philadelphia - if anyone knows, he will.

Even a well used secondhand one would be great.
Thanks
Rob

Sorry to bust your hopes but it's looking for a needle in a haystack... they're pretty rare and when they're for sale it gets pretty expensive...

Or as Roff says, maybe if you hit up Mark at Horological Services, he might even be able to make you one... :shock:

OK, did wonder if it was almost a non starter, maybe I need to flip it for something modern then.
Cheers
