This Cosmonaute 809: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152599591307 Aren't the hands, and bezel wrong? Shouldn't an all black 809 have a wide bezel and syringe hands? Thanks. |

Hands are incorrect bezel can either be wide or 'normal' ., from what I have seen all 1962 809's had the wide bezel (both the reverse panda and the all black) and the 1963 809's had the narrow bezel (both the reverse panda and the all black) if the dial is all black it has (needs to have) the syringe hands |

It's scary rare, maybe the rarest of them all. For sure rarer then the all black 62' Wide Bezel. / Kurt B |

That clearly shows, that both the all black & black/white 63' versions are much rarer then respective 62' ones. I have actually yet to find a 100% original & unrestored 63' all black version in collectible condition, and I have found 5 62' ones...!!!! Kurt B |
