My first post, great forum. I am looking at pre-owned B-1 to purchase, A7836223/B581, located one at reputable AD. Condition & price right....However, 100% of the black fill on the bezel markings and numbers is gone. They confirmed it is not there, not just reflections from photo flash like is sometimes seen on ebay photos, and not hit and miss worn off....just not there.

Can this be a factory version I am not aware of, or were they all black filled and this was definitely removed at some point? Thanks, DFM

I believe they were all filled.

Thanks. Everything else on this B-1 points to consistent light wear & excellent care...I don't know why the black fill would have been removed. Perhaps someone liked this look better...I suppose a solvent could have removed it.
