    I have a Gemini IV that I think is a great looking watch. I wear it quite often and its still in like new condition. But since I have managed to scratch and dent bezels on two of my other watches I was thinking of getting a spare bezel just in case.
    Used to be available on Ebay but cannot find any atm.
    Not sure of the original part from 2005 is still available from Omega but maybe the new Tokyo 2020 Olympic Blue bezel is the same?
    Any owner of both watches that can confirm if the colour matches perfectly, as they look really close in all the pics I have seen online.

    Picture of course:

    As all LE’s parts are now swap only, it’s not likely. There might be a few from before the policy changed out there, but almost all LE parts availability has dried up on eBay, as what was out there has been sold off.

    Gemini IV bezel is available from Omega - not an exchange part so can be purchased outright by a watchmaker with a parts account.

    While some LE parts are on an exchange basis, it's not all of them as you are suggesting.

    For the OP's search, the part number you want is 082SU1795.

    Cheers, Al

    With that part number you can also ask your local OB if they can order it for you.

    While they can certainly order it for you, I would be surprised if they would do so. Might get lucky if the person you talk to doesn't know the rules...

    Thanks to my fellow OF members I now have a few leads that will surely make it possible for me to source a spare bezel for my Gemini IV, just as @Darlinboy

    Have a great day OF

    With the part number in hand you may also be able to order directly from Omega (in the USA) via their toll-free telephone number.

    Very unlikely. As I've mentioned, these are parts that are accessible to watchmakers certified by Omega, not the general public.

    A small update, got a call from my watchmaker that the bezel I ordered had arrived. Went to pick it up today.

    Had to open the package to make sure that it was actually the correct blue version.
    Thanks to everyone who contributed, with the correct info it is even possible to get spares for old LE Speedmasters.

    It must have cost you a pretty penny!

    It was the same price as a standard black bezel actually. My watchmaker was a bit surprised as well. I was prepared to pay a bit more but sometimes you get lucky I guess.
