Steel Daytona bezel that looks like a white gold one

Anyone know where to find a bezel like this? The numbers are rounder than a standard 116519/116509 bezel and I could have sworn I saw it listed on a German watch parts website, but I can't find it for the life of me.

I can tell you which one NOT to buy. Several vendors are selling this one, anywhere from $30 - $90

https://www.ebay.com/itm/316L-st-ste...-/163479560907

The engravings are very badly misaligned, with the 60 centered on 12, the 120 is at about 32 minutes. REALLY off to the point of being unusable. I used ebay vendor CarlyWet. No response at all to request for refund, no response to PP chargeback. PP issued me a refund.

Even fudging the 60 well left of 12 doesn't bring the 120 close to acceptable

Can tell the crap ones straight away from the gap between the 2 and the 4 in 240

I just ordered an old BP 7750 mainly to scavenge the bezel for a project I want to do. I'll give it a replacement ceramic bezel and dial in return and probably keep it awhile before flipping it at a discount. Members are doing this same thing to get ARF dials and bezels.

@KJ, I am quite sure Curt941 was referring to this German website.
I know this cuz I almost ordered one, but the font is very far from Gen. The "4" being the most obvious tell.
More importantly, if you click the Ernst Westphal link I provided Curt above, you can compare Curt's sample bezel to that of Ernst Westphal's.
Identical.

Yes! That's the one! I know it's not like Gen, BUT it's better than the crappy one on eBay, and I'd almost rather have a clearly aftermarket one than trying to fake the funk on a poorly replicated one

Haha no worries man!

*Edit* to add to the interest, I found it interesting that the Artisan de Geneve Montoya carbon bezel uses a very similar rounded numerals

Yes, I had noticed that before but didn't pick up that your bezel was like that. The Montoya bezel flips the numbers around in the lower half. That's a sick watch.

I'm hoping the TD's will sell it separately or sell a REF 116509 Blue Dial with the Metal band not the oysterflex hehehe

Yeah I love it that way, still available in a 7750. I was going to convert this into a Noob 4130 but now I don't want to give up any of my Noobs to be a donor.
