;D nice early seawolf without veined hands. great white dial, looks like lume on hands has been redone, looks good. these were famous to loose their lume, that is the reason veins were added early 1960s. a bezel WILL BE HARD TO FIND, keep searching, you might get lucky!
This bezel may work:
ebay# 190798887539
FWIW, I steered away from that auction due to the missing bezel and the limited use older movement in it. Finding a bezel to fit the early ones are a real trial.
This one was pounded in place with a 10 # sledge hammer and does not rotate. The good news is that I got to keep it as it is unsalable in this condition. But it looks good!
