There's only one gen bezel available now,

I know him and can get you a better deal if you want.

If I were you I would get an aftermarket bezel from minh q or phong and use a genuine insert.. Any old insert will do as long as it's a long 5 or kissing 40.. The red triangle ones are too expensive. Phong's bezel is 350$ if I'm not mistaken and its identical to the genuine ones with brass under the nickel plate.

The link works for me. His price is 2400.00USD for the complete bezel and insert. I agree with cc33, unless he is restoring it to pristine like new condition, I would use the ming or phong bezel assembly. Depending on where you are, I find phong easier to deal with. Since you already have a service dial and hands, I'm not sure it would be worth it to spend 2400.00 USD on a genuine bezel assembly/insert. But of course that is up to your friend as to what he wants to spend. If this was a 6538 "big crown" then  I would probably opt for the genuine parts as it is a  more expensive and popular watch.

This is what cc33 is talking about. Mine is still all original and I went with the Phong bezel and genuine vintage insert. It's a perfect fit to the original crystal retaining ring and is indistinguishable from gen.
