Can anyone identify this?

[Acidstain]

Hello all, i would like to ask for information from your community. I found this bezel from a retired watchmakers estate. It was in a rolex paper sleeve, however the model number written on the outside (7926) doesn’t seem to match this bezel. The ridges on the bezel are distinctly different from that of the submariner. Possibly from something older? Hope these pictures come out clear enough. If you need other pictures, please let me know.

Thank you all

Pretty sure that’s a fake.
Never seen that type of retainer spring in a genuine Sub, but I’m no expert.

Those older ones had that retainer.
a no crown guard sub bezel with a service insert maybe or maybe from a 6542?

The old subs had it. The insert is legit (but is later than the bezel). OP- measure the diameters of the bezel and post them here.

Insert inner diameter is approx 30.4

Steel bezel insert outside diameter is 37.4

The the ridges on the bezel seems similar to sub model 6xxx or tudor 752x

possibly for a tudor 7924? (the package did say 7926, maybe somebody got them switched)
