Thanks Steve. You're right of course, and so parts are likewise not easily found. Fortunately I really only need a bezel insert. I'll live the this old, worn ring for now.

Hey, I missed this evidently Eric ! 🤯😊
Holy cowza, it might be the little brother, but it has a big brother way
about it, or attitude I mean.
Not only do you get that out of thisworld case that not only looks like a UFO, but looks like it's made of
some mega cool metal. But you also get the digital readout added in,
which really kicks things up ! 😀Talk about cool ana-digi's, and love
the way the digital display is implemented.
It's added in in the most cool way possible, and even makes the shape
of the analog part of the dial look sleeker, and more unique. 🏆Now,
may I ask, when about is this one from? ..It's outstanding in every single
way sir ! Hey, and did you notice how Chaz's incoming Arnie evidently
will have a really similar look? ..A COLOSSAL congrats here on this E !!!
P.S. your's is just phenomenal as well Artemis ! 😮

I know its like new with that insert but I like the vintage look, it's not trashed just some wear. Are you keeping feelers out for a bezel, like WTB posts around?

Why yes I am. There's one on eBay right now but it's $300 😦 just for the bezel/insert. I'll live with my vintage-look insert.

The auction does have a "make offer" option, I made a significantly lower offer. It didn't bounce back with a no, so who knows?

I finally got around to setting the digital display to correct day/date and 2nd/3rd time zones and the alarm works too.
