There is a new listing now on eBay.
The squared off "zero" fonts are all WRONG
Be aware it came off another watch and he says it fits but does it? No photo of it mounted to a 62MAS.

Hi. I don’t believe there are any genuine no’s 62mas bezel inserts left. Some time ago I saw one go for $1500. The best bet is to grab a Dave Swan reproduction which is indistinguishable from genuine. Cheers Phil

I found this 62MAS Insert a while ago while searching through my replaced crystal pile.  |

Hi. To answer both questions. Dave Swan is still current on tof, I think. He may have some left or members who purchased them may have some left. Harolds reproduction version is not quite the goods (previously mentioned here). Cheers Phil

David's bezel insert, it's very close but the lume pip is a little larger that the Seiko original, last time I spoke to him about the inserts he had none left. There have been several 62Mas seen with that bezel.  |

And I do not agree that Seiko ever issued any 62MAS's with these squared off 0's. It would take a real research project to get me to buy into that idea. |

Sorry, I should have read that post before sending it! The photo is not one of Daves bezel inserts, this is one of his inserts. Dave Swan insert  These TV screen bezels have been around for some time now and I have seen several and all fitted to a 62mas, they certainly are different and may have been an early reproduction or from another watch, one never knows! Unknown insert   |
