Hi guys and happy holidays!!! I had for a while this idea but i want your opinion. Is that complicate replace the current bezel of mine 74 with the one in the picture? I like the look that would result (and the piece of mind of not demaging the bezel thte is turning naturally grey ), and if any of you did the same i'll be curious to see the result Cheers!!
Since it is more for estethic rather then originality, i can put a repro or buy a replace by Omega that works on that case If it does the job, i'm happy with the repro.
Well it's your watch and your moody bezel, and you have every right to modify it if you desire, but I agree with @wsfarrell.
In this thread https://omegaforums.net/threads/help-with-a-speedy-105-003-64.21050/ Archer points out that modern bezels will not fit all cases (it’s case-manufacturer dependent). So it’s not 100% guaranteed that a modern omega bezel will fit...and if this is aftermarket...who can say? I guess the difference could be as small as few microns (I believe the bezel should pop on tightly, making a distinct sound)...if it doesn’t it can pop off and be lost. I guess the only way to know is to try
I guess at some point i will have to try with an original one and see it does the job, but i thin it would be a cool looking modification
I know a guy who had an auto steel bezel Speedy that swapped the steel bezel for the black (standard) Speedy bezel. I thought it wasn’t going to look good, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Il sure you can try and see how the look will be, I think it will looks nice.
Isn't that the bezel from the speedy "replica" ? In other words, a legit Omega part. A watchmaker could probably make it fit.
