Morning all, really liking the look of some of the swaps people have made with PO bezels on the 2254.50, I'm interested in doing the same on mine, which PO bezel fits best and what's the best tool to buy in order to make the swap as painless and damage free as possible (would like to swap back to original if I ever decided to sell or part ex).
Thanks

Your best bet is the bezel from the 2201 (ref: 082SU1702).

For the tool, if you want to go the safe route, then there’s an Omega bezel removal tool or a similar one that’s cheaper that you may want to find. Using the bezel “knife” style tool inevitably bends the bezel just enough that it’ll never sit the same again, and you risk damaging the watch lugs in the process.

I went the route of the PO bezel insert in the 2254’s bezel and enjoyed that for a bit before switching to a luminous ceramic insert. Now I’ve got a brand new 2201 bezel collecting dust in my cabinet

hope that helps!

Thanks! Are you thinking of selling that 2201 bezel?
