Re: Replacement Bezel

In Response To: Re: Replacement Bezel ()

: Any competent watchmaker can replace it. Some have done it
: themselves, but I don't recommend it. I beleve you need just
: like a crystal press to fit it. You can get the bezels from
: ofrei.com. They are pricey and run in the $220 usd range. A
: local watchmaker may charge you a nominal fee to do the
: swap.

If you want to cheap out, you can also buy just the insert for about $30 off of Ebay and you just press it in; no glue or anything necessary. If you want to go official, you have to buy the whole Bezel (you can't just buy the insert anymore) and that's why it costs so much more (that and it's Omega so they're going to tack on soem $s).

But ya, I just do the cheapy Ebay special until it gets too scratched up and replace when needed...
