Need advice on sourcing an odd part

[tenacious_b]

Hi everyone; I need some help. My buddy has a manual wind speedmaster from the cartel, and somehow lost the bezel tachymeter trim ring. Can anyone suggest a dealer or memeber for sourcing a replacement part?

i.e. he lost the acrylic insert with the tachy scale printed on it?

Maybe try King, or Polo... Send them a pic of the exact part, or maybe see if they can source a new bezel complete. Dunno how successful it will be, but it's worth a try...

Thanks - any others?

Might the original dealer be worth a try?

Yeah, I guess so. I guess I was hoping that someone might know of a stateside source. Tried my regular stateside dealer, but came up empty.

Pretty sure Mr Slimeball in Texas sells them.

Although you should not take that as any sort of endorsement obviously, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures...

I've been looking for a Speedy Moon insert myself for a couple of years - but a rare 'pulsations' type as opposed to the standard tachy.

Faisal Ali aka warehouseoutlet on the Bay. Not someone I would want to do business with again, even in desperate circumstances...
