Service bezel 6265

Hi everyone,

Is this a service bezel? If so, how can you tell? The watch is c.1983

Much appreciated.

Best,

It is not a service bezel.

IMHO, seems to be a MK1.

It looks indeed like a mark1. BUT, was curious as to if it was a service one.

Some can tell by the looks of some numbers or the "S".

Are you sure?
6265s came in 1971 so too soon for a swap. But I'm no expert, hence this thread.

Looks like orig. MK1 to me too, and possible original Plexi.
