I was looking up parts for my PT 40 and I came upon a bezel at Brightguy.com. What is a bezel?
Main Entry: be·zel
Pronunciation: 'bE-z&l, 'be-
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from dialect form of French biseau bezel, from Middle French
1 : a rim that holds a transparent covering (as on a watch, clock, or headlight) or that is rotatable and has special markings (as on a watch)
2 : the oblique side or face of a cut gem; specifically : the upper faceted portion of a brilliant projecting from the setting -- see BRILLIANT illustration
3 : a usually metal rim of a piece of jewelry in which an ornament (as a gem) is set
