Yes, it's the original bezel. I bought this watch off a Canadian forum, refinished the case and cleaned up the bezel as best as possible without removing any resin. This is kind-of my "show" DW-1000, and I wear in very carefully and sparingly.

On the right is my original DW-1000, which I bought new in 1984 or 85.


I have no idea how, but I somehow "lost" the bezel at least 20 years ago. I thought I'd broken it and threw it away, but a couple of years ago I found it, intact and in pretty good condition, in the bottom of a junk/parts drawer in my watch bench.

So I have it stored safely away and still have plans to have it copied and get a few extras 3D printed. Kind of low on my priority list right now, but some day...

Edit: I also have a third DW-1000, missing bezel, but working perfectly. I'm keeping that one for spare parts: module, buttons, bezel screws, case etc.

Yes mate great fun, though I'll return post covid to do it properly (I won't go in casinos or clubs at this time for example).

Post Covid, you'll need to make a stop in Chicago, Geoff..

P.S. @Samanator, I've got that hat, too.

Michael sold this to me at cost where he could have sold this for 4k profit sooo.... I owe him BIG time.

You need a picture of the green GS GMT. I think that was your favorite from what I brought. I guess the Longines Ceramic Hydroconquest was your least favorite.

Was it green?! I thought the dial was black! Oh wait this one?

Actually my favourite was the Seiko 60s diver reissue. And the exp2 polar on the rubber - it looked wicked. And the oris.
