Bezel. I've been thinking about how to attach a lens or jewel other than the original. That may prove handy and I could always paint the chrome black so it wouldn't stand out. I'll keep your generous offer in mind. It may be the best way to go.

I found a repair shop that has molds but he has never made one for a 40-201. Who knows, all of them may look alike. I may gamble on one.

One thing I've decided I will not do is case one myself. Thinking back about all of my experiences with resins and hardeners has tempered my enthusiasm. I never end up using the leftover so that option seems wasteful.
