My favorite rep

But does anyone know why they made it with a matte bezel?

Did they ever produce one like this

Does anyone have a clue why they are now using this bezel instead of the shiny ones that they used to?

OK 1St thing- you do realise this is a picture of a manual wind rep not a gen Speedie? That means the rep movement operation does not match the dial which is printed to look like the gen.  there is no rep movement available that matches the gen operation.

The subdial @6 is pointing to 2 because it copies the hour hand. Your only option for a working readable rep is a 42mm quartz, some of which have the subdials renumbered to match the movement,  but then of course look different to the gen. 

21j auto. Days @9. Date @3. 24hr @6

Os20 quartz with dial printed to match movement 24hs @3. Secs @6 chrono mind @9

Dunno why the bezels on these are now matt,  but the bezel on my snoopy (44mm vk quartz) is ceramic.
