Does this "extra wide" bezel look right? Looks strange and the index ring doesn't seem to fit properly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160977226819?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 |

Doesn't look right to me. Outer sliderule also looks wrong. |

I haven't seen any previous mention of this bezel anywhere and it seems to be another example with a different bead count. Are these a rare bezel? |

very, very rare, Paul - only saw them on very early 809s, never on 806s, but Kurt will hopefully chime in. |

Thanks guys. Learn something new everyday. I was get a little dizzy counting the bezel beads but it was either 99 or 100. |
