Help Finding Bezel

Hi - I’m new here and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I’m looking for a replacement bezel (not just the insert but the whole thing) for a WAB1110. I’d normally go through my servicer who has a parts account with TH but since this bezel is not specifically for that model, TH won’t sell us one. Any ideas or direction is very appreciated. I’ve scoured eBay, forums, etc and am still coming up with nothing.

Can't your watchmaker just order the parts from TAG Heuer? Tell them it's for a different model if need be?

He mentioned something about TAG Heuer not selling a part unless it was for that specific model. I'm sure all of you know better than I do but I assumed they had to provide some type of serial number to confirm this.

I've heard of TAG boutiques not selling straps to you unless you have the correct model for which it is intended, although they can usually be convinced (or failing that, you just tell them you have that model). Not heard of watchmakers having to have proof of the watch they are repairing before they can order parts, but it's possible I guess. I suppose we'd need to ask a watchmaker with a TAG parts account and I'm not sure we have any around here.

Am I being thick? You want a replacement bezel for a WAB1110, but they won't sell you the bezel because it's not for that model? Then surely it's the wrong bezel........ 😵‍💫

Of course is the “wrong” bezel, hence the issue. The watch I want to put it on is same case size, etc.
