1970 Omega Seamaster soccer timer with Regatta bezel. Should I replace it with the roulette bezel?

    +5 for regatta.

    Never seen one in real life, whereas the roulette is available as a service part.

    Unless you change the dial, keep it as it is.

    I would do the Roulette.

    The regatta looks great, and I would be thrilled with it. But the dark grey dial with roulette is one of my all time favorite combinations.

    Or you could sell it to me and I'll switch it up for you ;)

    Is that bezel aligned correctly? I've never seen one before so this is just personal aesthetics, but it seems like it should line with the red mark between each number on the hour marker of the dial. If it's correct, then a double vote for the regatta as that'd just annoy me

    The inner bezel rotates, so you could align it however you'd like.

    Thanks everyone for the input. I plan to keep the regatta in for at least the time being. My initial plan was the roulette bezel but the regatta does look great and is original. I just wish bezels could be switched out as easily as straps![emoji6] Keep opinions coming.

    Great example! I would leave it just as is....




    And get another one with the roulette bezel. ::stirthepot::

    Now that is a good idea, just not sure my wife would agree.
