phaedo Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I seem to recall others mentioning the insert is compatible, but not the bezel; the rub is to get the insert you have to buy the bezel as they are not sold seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, what he said. If you have the UPO, you can use the dial, crystal and hands plus the crown and tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have replied to several posts on this topic. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a gen bezel on the 'bay and had The Zigmeister transfer the insert. To me, the mod looks near perfect. The only thing is that the insert will sit up a little higher than your crystal, and I am talking a fraction of a mm here. I am working on setting my crystal up just a touch higher and securing it with GS Hypo Cement. That should take care of it. After paying attention to a lot of gen Omegas, my opinion is that the incorrect pearl is the biggest tell and the gen bezel/insert mod is worth it.

OK but my question is about bezel, not bezel insert. The GEN bezel (+insert) that Ofrei sell has a measure, a diameter ecc.. Is this bezel compatible whit measures of rep ?

Guest porsche356a Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Gen bezel, wont fit the rep. heres an old thread -----------> HERE This here is a nice search string (lots of useful modding info)------------------> HERE If you read through them, you'll even find the exact part numbers for the UPO itemized. The insert will fit the rep bezel, with some mods and it looks awesome! besides the click, on the rep is quite good. Tight and gen like. Hope this helps, Enjoy, and happy modding.
