    Sensible options for a Replacement Bezel insert: Planet Ocean 42mm - 2201.50.00
    Your recommendations please...

    I'm looking for an accurate replacement bezel insert for my PO (circa 2005). Tried the usual watch forums and would like an alternative to replacing the entire bezel assembly!

    Best regards,
    K.

    Not really the place to ask about obtaining fake parts...

    I'm looking for an original... I'm having issues sourcing one through Omega!
    Possibly a watch maker may have recovered a bezel from a non-functioning watch?

    What you perhaps haven't realised is that there are no legitimate bezel inserts available. Omega supply only the full replacement bezel only. If you look at ebay you may well find a new or second hand full bezel but no-one, Omega included can supply you with a genuine insert alone. This is unlike the situation with Rolex who will sell you an insert but unfortunately it is the deal with Omega.

    ps I commend you on the choice of the 2201.50, IMO the best of the Planet Oceans

    Hi Padders,
    Thanks for the feedback (sounds like the Archer chap was a little put out LOL???). I’ve asked Omega to source me the entire bezel assembly but have not had a satisfactory response, apparently one was sen for but that was several months ago and I grew tired of chasing them. I’ll keep an eye on the forums!

    Many thanks toy you! ;)

    Yea you missed the boat by a couple years used to be able to get the full bezel from otto frei for under 300. I would swap from black and orange all the time.

    Might get lucky on the forums or the bay but if you could find a watch maker with a parts account they could get one for you.

    Does anyone know if one can purchase a bezel directly from Omega? I just picked up a pre-owned black bezel 2500, and would love to have a new/mint bezel handy to replace the slightly scratched one I have. Not opposed to Omega level prices, but don’t want to send the watch away for 2 months. Especially because it was recently serviced by Omega with the previous owner.

    Unfortunately, there isn’t an OB within a few hours of where I live. There is an AD. Can ADs order parts like this for customers? Anywhere one could purchase online? I don’t see anyplace to do so on Omega’s website.
