I saw that as well.  Looks like a pretty solid re-pop.

I couldn’t find them, but it’s good to know they are out there.

They look like urethane.

According to the seller, one bezel in the pic is NOS, the other is the reproduction for sale.  They look pretty good to me, but I am no expert on these.

Thanks mate, it still doesn't come up on any Ebay search I use, I must be banned from ebay searches

[cobrajet25]

Alright, enough of this nonsense.  This ain't a NOS 6105 we are all pretending nobody else has seen yet.

  The link worked

Thanks heaps, I now have searched for it using the title and nothing comes up, searched on the French Ebay site using the number, zip, searched using the first part of the title, still zip. I think my Ebay search is broken

[eeki]

Saw the listing earlier, quite impressive! So many otherwise nice examples have bad bezels, so it's good to have this option available.

[tritto]

This is just going to increase the value of the odd one that comes up with a bad or no bezel. Now people can get a replacement.

The auction does not come up for me either if I just search for it but I am assuming it is because they will not ship to Australia. Interestingly they ship to everywhere except Africa and Oceania. The listing specifically includes Australia as a destination so they possibly do not know we are part of Oceania as this will not show up for people searching from here.

The part does look good and a nice option for people hunting for bezels.

[dasher]

I bought one and am considering buying another - just need to make sure I actually NEED it. Yes, I have no idea how many OBC's I have...

Anthony for you or anyone else here I can buy as your proxy if interested.

My only OBC is a 5717 and I have an NOS silver stainless steel bezel ready to go. 

I agree Tristan that will make the value of bezel-less 5719s increase in value.

What I am not sure of is whether this is a Qty. (3) pcs run never to return again (If so great job Dan!) or if he'll be making more as market demands dictate.

Not sure if the ad has been updated but it appears they will indeed ship to Australia - $30.

[akable]

Yes, the auction has been updated and now only excludes Africa. 

I am just regretting on passing up some OBC's relatively cheaply as they were bezel-less. Sure we will see a boost in prices for these now.

[bbilford83]

This looks wonderful - thanks for the heads up Jon.  The price leaves something to be desired, but I imagine it wasn't cheap to get them off the ground.  The product looks good enough I'd fear some will pass them off as original.
