1675 Bezel Insert Question

I have a 1971 (3.1m) in desperate need of an insert. I’m having a really hard time navigating the world of used besels as prices are everywhere.

I appreciate that it will cost me for a proper non-service insert and am prepared to spend, I just don’t want to overpay.

Does anyone have any thoughts on some that are available?

I’m currently looking at this - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rol...54db%7Ciid%3A1

Not the definitive guide to bezels, but a nice resource nonetheless.

Thanks! I’ve been looking at that. Hard to tell exact years.

The one you are looking at on ebay will work fine for 1971.

It might be worth dropping a message to suligeo and/or Brian11772 here. They both usually have a few good/correct inserts available.
