cvp3 2,099 Posted December 3, 2019 Does anyone know if a TD is making or will make a Bakelite bezel option? I found the few threads of 3D printed homegrown pieces and a few that actually made their own, but is there another option or any bezels for sale? I'm suddenly drawn to them with few options to solve except the Steinhart vintage 39 that really doesn't do it justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had a very expensive one on EBay that sold 2 weeks ago but he may do it cheaper for one of us. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bakelite-Bezel-Insert-for-Rolex-6542-High-Quality-Aftermarket-Part/113910679124?hash=item1a859b0654:g:m5gAAOSwRWddlMkU#vi__app-cvip-panel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
