Seems that this transition type is not going to be the easiest one to find!

But at least now i know more about what i am searching for!

Seems that you are right, its kind of an in between. On your last pic, teeth are really différent than on mine, seems to be proéminent, that could go deep in the case.

Probably best option is finding the exact same Watch. Easier to find that bezel only. But it was not really the idea.

Perhaps the final 2 in 962.006F-2 is about that weird bezel.

Glad to know it was useful for général knowledge! Many thanks for all those Precious advices.
Yes, I think so.
You definitely couldn't use the first type bezel and we know you can't use the later deep profile type either.
It seems the one you need is most similar to the first type.It fits much more inside the case recess,but the section which fits into the case is thinner because of the step and the teeth are different.

As you say, the teeth are much more prominent and that bezel goes much deeper into the case recess than the later type.

Have a look at a seller called "brokenchrono" on US ebay, he sells lots of bezels and cases.He may have something.

Sorry I couldn't solve the problem but at least we have learnt something as you said!

Hello there, good news, i found the exact same watch, with a back case problème, but with right bezel. The dials and hands are one way better shape than mine, so i think ill take those to out it into my case.

You were right, the bezel is much thinner and goes deeper in the case recess. See attached the comparaison, with the good one on the right.

The retaining spring is loose but it works; the click ratchet was working, but it seem very old and broken. I tried with the click spring but it seems that there is not enough Space under the bezel for it to fit in.

So it looks like this bezel fits with that flat clicking ring only.

The ring holds into the case with two hooks that fits in the holes at 12 and 6.

I dont find the exact same one on eBay, but something similar, just with on hook, but exact same diamater. It says that is fits on the WE1110, which is the later name for the 962.006.

It looks like some of the clicks are broken off the flat spring you have.
As long as the new flat spring is the same diameter it should work fine, the extra hook shouldn't make any difference. The later watches only had one hole in the case for the hook.
I will check on Cousins UK to make sure but I think the one hook spring covers all full size 3 hand models 👍

What is the inside diameter of your original flat spring Paul?
These generic springs like you found on Ebay have an inside diameter of 28.85mm.If that matches you should be good with that spring 👍
