Awesome, how did you make the red leather ones, almost look the the Omega bands!

Thanks, I just bought the leather braid and the silver bolt-ring/findings and cut to length and glued it. Simple! Probably cost a bit less than an 'Omega'-branded one...

I just put this bezel on the 1680 (it's off my blue 9411/0) and I love it. It's the same fat font as the original black and faded grey ones I have, and I think it looks sweet on the RED!

I enjoy the differences in dials (patina in the Lume plots and the shades of matte on the dials) and the pairing with the NATOs.

Cheers!
