TB2 carbon bezel - anyone think too much?

Agree - watches with same case/dial colour don't look good - need the contrast. Fake perhaps as we are all used to seeing CF?

Another pic without the Elite icon I found a while back.

Thanks MTJ42 - good find! Even though a render this particular model is crying out for a polished SS bezel.
As I have only seen CF dials on the market, I wonder how many were made? Anyone reading this thread have an idea if someone logged model production numbers?

I asked the guy who did the prototype and design work, he said he only made a couple of the metal bezels for himself in his own shop. They were not something Oakley did

Awesome background. If you chat again - could you mention that a forum member is interested? Thanks in advance.

Some of them hit eBay every so often. One of these eBay ones is owned by Terrorism on OReview. I forget which color he has.

So is the watch face factory and he customed the Bezel? There is a white and a black face TB2 listed on OReview but to this day I cannot say I ever saw a listing or picture of one.

I'm not sure on the dial.

This recently got some action on O-Review. Some good photos there. Question answered on proto vs. production - proto only and never released.

FWIW I think it looks 100% better with the Carbon Face. It looks like a Fake imho with the white dial.

Agreed. and old fashioned
