hyster Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Does anyone have a good source for a replacement bezel insert for Omega watches, I could do with one for my eta bond and my UPO is looking a little scratched. If anyone has a good source to share that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 You could try these folks, but the UPO pearl is part of the bezel not the insert. That still confuses me... http://cgi.ebay.com/BEZEL-INSERT-ORANGE-FO...3QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have a good rating, but, look at all the negative ones as well. They all say near enough the same thing, which shows a consistent pattern of behaviour. I've found the best source for inserts, is the dealer you ordered the watch from. My man sent me inesrts for my 2220.80 (which wound up on my 2531.80 ) and my Planet Ocean Big Size, and shipped them free with another order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones on Ebay all look the same, and on all of them is the pearl to big and off center,meaning sticking outside of the triangle.

pietjansen Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 "the dealer" I got the watch from,is living somewhere in the chinatown district in Bangkok. So,in order to get the insert I need,I have to go back to Bangkok,to meet him again,as I will later next year,but that doesn't help me now. ;-) Anyone?

gioarmani Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Buy one from Josh, Andrew, or PT. Don't waste your money with aftermarkets. The aftermarkets are shitty in person & have poor print & rollie pearls--not Omega pearls.to reality Sadly, the rep inserts (for omega, anyway) are leaps above aftermarket quality.

Jimster Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I would love to find a source that can make inserts for vintage watches. I've got two Seamaster 300's without bezels. Omega doesn't make them any longer. The case numbers are 14755 and 165.014 and they take the same bezel. Does anyone know of a source for custom inserts? Pictures and sizing is no problem.

Jimster Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 No, unfortunately. This is the one: It's the black outer ring. It was produced in a very brittle plastic and many were cracked and then removed and never replaced. It seems like it would be simple to produce them if I could find someone to do it.

hyster Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Sorry to resurrect this thread but one more question,...... Does the Omega SMP Chrono insert fit the non Chrono SMP? The pearl just seems to look better on most Chronos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
