Item 57: interesting bezel

Hello Jeff,

thanks for the summary, it was a pleasure to read. Can you please give me some insight on the 2nd Exec Autavia and why the bezel is believed to be authentic? I've never seen that insert before, although I know the 12-24 bezels for 2nd execution cases. At first glance I dismissed the insert on lot 57 as not original. The font turns me off for some reason. I would have expected the same font as for 1-12 bezel.

Thanks and best regards,
Manuel
