... reproduction bezels: views?

I saw some discussion on a previous thread about whether it would be desirable to have reproduction Autavia bezels produced.

I think it would be good to rescue some otherwise "far gone" Autavias ruined by their destroyed bezels. I think there would be enough interest to support a small run.

I agree with AMH that fakers are the problem, but my idea would be to introduce a small but obvious difference to the reproduced bezels so we would know what was "real".

What do people think?
