You can try a WTB ad here on TRF in the classifieds, but more likely to have success on VRF here...

Bezel
I don't know if you saw this bezel but it might be the right one:

Rolex 1625
Hello Gentlemen,
Thank you all for the quick replies. It's 4.2 million serial number range, steel and gold. It still has the bezel retaining ring on it. A late model TB bezel will not fit. I'm gonna try a datejust bezel after removing the retainer ring. Or, just leave the cheapie watch bezel on it.

Hey Adam, you are correct. There was a WG and Stainless 1625 and a Tu-Tone Stainless and yellow gold model 1625 as well.

The SS-WG are hard to find.

There is one for sale on the 'bay. I haven't bought it because it lacks the numbered "insert" which doesn't make sense since they are one-piece. The ones for sapphire crystal seem to come on the market more often: I bought a nice one of those but can't use it. I even considered having the piece made.
