Hi guys, so I’ve sourced a bezel insert combo for my brother’s 2201.50..question is; Is it possible to swap out the actual insert out of the bezel ring (orange to black) as you can on Rolex inserts..Any tips please🙏🏼

No, the bezel and insert can’t be separated.

On my first PO I would swap out the bezel all the time. I had this exact watch and bought a spare black bezel. That was when you could still source parts outside of Omega. I then found a guy who made a silicone bezel remover. It was a perfect fit and would have the bezel off and on in seconds. I also had a couple extra click springs in case one wore out but was never a problem.

In under 5 min I would swap out the bezel and strap and have a completely different looking watch.

Thanks for your reply to my query. Yes i have a spare black bezel assembly as well as another bezel ring that i managed to pop the orange insert out from..Just wondered if it was possible to re insert the insert..
