Pulled the trigger on this one yesterday...its not as vintage as most of what shows up on this thread but at 30 years old it's a cool looking watch [emoji12]

Chris just checking is the WSO gen spec bezel a plug and play swap? I got some work done tightening my flippy floppy bezel. Is this a good solution for future reference?
