I agree. The bezels on most current models seen gaudy! I like the plain and simple look.

Fascinating bezel on this one. I like very much. Are the numbers deeply etched or are they lightly engraved? Don’t see any of these where I am, so I am very interested in the detailing.

Very nice...looks like great condition too. Well done. I was just shopping for vintage-ish (mid 80s) Moon watches on ebay yesterday. This might have to be a chrono-contender.

Deeply etched and crisp detail with no wearing of the black. I have seen some where the black was completely gone. this AVI appears in mint condition.

Often removed by owners when it starts to wear (it is only paint).
