Bezels = Toughest Item to Find


Rotating bezels (on the Autavias, for example) are subjected to a lot of wear and tear. They are "exposed", in being the first surface to graze a doorpost or wall, and they are also handled a lot, if they are actually rotated to time events.

That said, I have never seen a source for Heuer bezels, as such. From time to time, I have seen individual bezels or bezel inserts offered on a one-off basis, but I haven't seen any source that offers them on a regular basis.

I'm certain that if someone were to produce good quality reproductions, there would be plenty of enthusiastic purchasers.

Thanks for the question.

Jeff
