Hi Guys,

I have a beautiful Tudor 79180 from 1993 and I am looking to source the bezel/insert from the 79160 or 79170. I really like the black bezel look and I'd like to have the option. I have a couple questions....

1. Are there 2 pieces to this part such as the bezel and insert or is it all 1 piece?
2. Will both the 79160 & 79170 bezels fit on the 79180? My preference is the 12 hour markers on the 79170 but I'm not sure if it will fit the 79180 as it rotates and the 79180 bezel is fixed. Does anyone know?
3. Is it possible to source these parts through an AD? Not much out there on the open market.
4. I also have a some questions about doing the bezel swap but I'll do a search on here first to see if it's been addressed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Steve
