Re: Omega Refurbishing
In Response To: Re: Omega Refurbishing ()

: OK,
: So if I need a new bezel, how much does that
: coast for a seamaster 2531.80?

An entire bezel will cost you around $150 for that model (mine cost $148 plus a couple dollars for shipping I believe). I was told by Omega USA that they will not sell just the aluminum painted insert for that model, so you have to buy an entire new bezel.

I replaced my bezel for my 2531.80 a few months ago. I hated to spend the money, but the scratches were on the blue aluminum painted insert, so they couldn't be polished out. I really wish I could have replaced just the insert and saved some money.
