I have purchased this oem insert for my omega. Now that I have it I'm not 100% sure if I should change it out. What do you think??

Thanks.

With this...

Why would you buy a fake insert for that Omega watch?

T-Rip · 7 September 2011, 10:54 AM

I meant to say non aftermarket. Sorry. It's oem.

Perdu · 7 September 2011, 11:13 AM

I like the orange bezel personally.

Why not? You can always change back.

Are you sure the black will go with the orange numbers?

I prefer the black bezel and red/orange numerals:

Well after seeing those pictures I can only say it would look pretty good! I think it makes the numerals pop out (in a good way, of course) while it gives the watch a more sober look.

Either one is good.

Not to hijack this but how does one go about changing the insert? I was always under the impression that with Omega's you could not swap out the insert like a Rolex but had to replace the entire bezel.

gaopa · 22 September 2011, 11:22 PM

the black bezel for me.... Cheers, Bill P.

007Willster · 23 September 2011, 12:32 AM

I've been thinking about the same swap. I think I might go with the whole bezel, instead of just the insert so I can change it out like a strap!

007Willster · 23 September 2011, 12:33 AM

BTW, I like the look of the orange/black combo - thanks for the pics.

Hi,
Yes that is what i was told by Omega. I am restoring my 1997 Seamaster Pro Bond and i am changing the face and the hands and i wanted to change just the bezel insert as the bezel itself is fine.
It looks as though you can change the bezel insert on teh new PO, but does anyone know if this can be done with the Seamaster Pro big Bond??

rob541 · 14 December 2011, 09:54 AM

I like the black bezel much more than the orange. I do like the orange hands with the black bezel.

Especially in the photos above. Looooove that matte dial.

I sold mine yesterday (completed the deal) and I am already missing the watch. ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

Thanks.

With this...

Where did you find the insert? I was told you had to buy entire bezel, which is very expensive. Pls advise.

Do what you want-- you can always switch it back.

bugawako · 16 December 2011, 10:57 AM

Either way, it's still going to be a great looking watch

I realize this is an old thread. But, I say do it the black bezel insert really looks sharp.

T-Rip · 17 December 2011, 08:57 AM

I dont even have the watch anymore

dieseldragon · 18 December 2011, 08:40 PM

Trouble with the PO and the SMP is that you need a special tool to pull the bezel off. Can't be done with a knife, like on a Submariner.
