Re: Bezel
In Response To: Bezel ()

Hi, Yes, you can change the Bezel on the Seamaster Pro and shouldn't have any leakage problems as long as you take it to a qualified watch re-pair shop. It is just an insert, but some watch re-pair shops will tell you that you have to have the whole bezel replaced. If they tell you this turn around and walk out. It's a fairly easy job to do but, you do need a steady hand to do it so you don't bend the insert. I guess why that's why some repair shops tell people this because their afraid of damaging the insert. Try taking it to an authorized dealer first since they should know the most about doing any kind of work on an Omega. I hope this helps and good luck, Damon
