Just purchased a 1980s Breitling/DPW Pluton "Key West" and discovered it to have an inauthentic, incorrect bezel. I am looking for the original bezel to replace it with. Would be willing to buy an otherwise non functioning donor watch for the bezel.

Honestly, I'd probably be willing to buy another whole watch, i just think these things are super cool.

Thanks.

I have seen them with a couple of different bezels but the most common is the one you indicated above. I've only seen the bezel on your watch once before and that one had a BMW logo on the dial. Does the back side of your watch have the Key West logo or plain DPW back?

The other key west models I have seen online have the "correct" dial. And I prefer it.

The digital display is also in bad shape, so i also have an eye our for a replacement movement.
