Hello i just lucked out in getting a few boxes of parts from Rolex watchmaker
estate. In one of the boxes I found this bezel set
can anyone id the year and font? I just dont have those skills
Thanks
I am always impressed with the knowledge here

Nice find. I am far from an expert but I would guess it's a mk3 insert from the 70's, could be wrong though.

It's looking like a nice mk2 insert. Get us a shot of the "4" to be sure!

so what year do you think?
It was in a parts box that had a bunch of rolls of crystals with a 1969 date!
here is the four

very early mk3 (3.1) - note the whipple on the outside edge of the 4.

Would be correct for a nice SD or Sub!

Calling experts. Is the OP bezel from earlier period, as it looks different from all the bezels in my possession? Here is one of mine NOS service replacement. Good to know for future reference.

Beautiful mark 3 insert BTW.
