Craig S Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hi all, I'm sure this has probably been asked a number of times, but can anyone recommend a decent aftermarket bezel insert for the UPO (I have the orange version).? I've frankened my UPO with gen dial, hands, crown and tube, and got a sunny crystal en-route. However, I dont want to shell out the insane amount of cash it costs (and the hassle of fitting) just for a bezel insert (i've spent enough and I need to draw a close on this one). Is there anything out there that is near as dammit and not SO expensive? Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved Cheers C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMAC Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 You will need to look at a pearl swap. If yours is centered which it probably isn't, you can keep your bezel. If not than wholesaleoutlet990 on the bay is the best bet, but you will have to mod the pearl still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig S Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 yeah, had a look on eBay and came across their inserts , then found they were recommended as next best thing. as long as it's s bit better centered, i will be happy!

the_rymeister Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Looks sweet sneed for a non gen bezel and pearl, definitely a serious option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Great watch! What was the base for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilazn Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I got one of the wholesale outlet black bezels if you want it. Bought it but never use it since my pearl was pretty centered on my UPO. So I just got Vac to mod the rep bezel and pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 FYI, the wholesaleoutlet bezel insert is gen-spec, you need to do the same grinding and fitting as you would with a gen insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
