By-Tor Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Actually I posted this new studio shot to the wristies thread already but why not post it again. Old School SMP Chrono with genuine insert = unbeatable! How can any Omega rep ever top this I wonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Sure its a great looking OMEGA Why is not the 000OMSE01027 Planet Ocean 45.5 Chrono SS/SS Blk/Bez/Wht 7750 Mod (as seen on PERFECTclones) your favorite By-Tor? www.perfect-hour.com/000omse01027-planet-ocean-chrono-ssss-blkbezwht-7750-p-5866.html Its more modern and not as accurate...whats your take on it not tried it?

asmo Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well for one if its not as perfect why would it be his favourite Reality is - different people like different things. I much prefer my 2 PO's to my SMP but i still enjoy wearing my SMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I am wearing mine which has the K222 AR treatment and is on a genuine Omega, twin-ridged blue leather band. I have a spare Swiss 7750 and I am intending to buy a set of genuine hands to complete a movement swap. Maybe a gen crown & tube too?? Totally agree that this is the best Omega rep. It lives alongside my gen 2254.50 and Speedy Pro without any problem. The shape, fit and finish of the case on this rep places it in a class of its own. On many reps the rotating bezel is a bit of a let-down, but not in this instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 The insert is the icing BT. Looks fabulous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exelonman Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 How did you remove the bezel? I couldnot get mine off and neither could me watchsmith. That's why I sold my gen bezel. I had already done gen dial/crystal, but wanted the bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 How did you remove the bezel? I couldnot get mine off and neither could me watchsmith. That's why I sold my gen bezel. I had already done gen dial/crystal, but wanted the bezel. I never removed the bezel. Just the old insert. I attached the new gen insert on the watch while the bezel was intact all the time.

That would really help:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hey bro Could you please show us a tutorial on how to do this? That would really help:) @ Naeems Do you have any idea how long good tutorials and reviews even take Naeems? Sometimes several hours or more.... Granted the tutorial is a simple Bezel insert replacement. Asking By-tor to do a tutorial for your own pleasure is kind of self-centered don't you think? Besides.. the forum already HOLDS THE ANSWERS! To answer your question.. Since you can't seem to find the answers for yourself. Take the small blade of pocketknife and very carefully pry it under the bezel insert and very carefully work your way around the bezel, it should come off.. It's only held on by glue.

robertk Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 You're right By-Tor. Ever since I've followed your reviews it's obviously been your favorite.....and for good reason. Of all the reps this was one of the first "complications" to get it right. And your bezel insert is the "Cherry" on top. It is close to perfection.

beyondx4 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 About removing the bezel; be extremely careful. I don't recommend doing this without the proper tools (especially these higher quality SMPs) because you will likely bend the bezel when forcing it out. The SMP Chrono's bezel insert is probably one of the nicest rep SMP inserts available today and is virtually impossible to purchase separately. It's more accurate than any aftermarket SMP insert I've seen. I have tried multiple times from a few dealers and none would be able to buy a replacement insert for me (seems like the factories are doing this on purpose). So when you are prying one out, be extra careful or you will regret it. It may be a good idea let the watch face soak in a pool of acetone for awhile to soften & dissolve the glue.
