Submariner Bezel

First of all I want to say thanks for the response on previous Postings.
This photo is of a Bezel I've had for a long time. Can someone identify it for me. My guess is that is from a Sub. 1680 or a 6536-1. i've owned both in the past so it only reasons.

Thanks, Mark

Forgot to add, the dimensions are OD 1.44" and ID 1.20"

That's not a bezel, it's just the insert.

A 1680 insert is OD/36.55 x ID/30.30mm

Bradley6536 - Forgot to add, the dimensions are OD 1.44" and ID 1.20"

Your measurements are: OD 36.57mm, ID 30.48mm which are closest to the measurements for the 1680 insert.

16610 Submariner inserts are: OD 37.65, ID 30.70
1680 Submariner inserts are: OD 36.55, ID 30.30mm

Sizing of bezel inserts are fairly accurate, but I've never measured one that is perfect, just close to the actual size. The more they are removed, bent and tweaked, the more the dimensions change - especially when you are talking millimeters.

Thanks again for the replies. Their is a guy on Ebay with one and he is asking over $800 for it,
same shape as mine. Are they worth that or is he crazy?
