Curious if any members of the OF have tried one of these bezel inserts from flea bay.

My 14755 is jealous of his younger bro and wants a bezel insert but I don't think I have the stomach to send the bezel Europe and hope I see it again. Any info is much appreciated - especially if someone knows of another option. Price is certainly up there for a question mark purchase from France. ugh

If you look at the seller's feedback, they seem to have happy customers for a variety of Omega bezel inserts and no complaints.

I did notice that there was some good feedback, I was hoping to get some detail on the quality and if it is a harder bake a lite type material or softer plastic gel, or somewhere in between. before spending the $500...

Perhaps leave it as is.
Instead, reimagine the 14755 as a 2914-5 Seamaster PAF.
They do look very similar.

I saw this as well and had the same questions...

Why not ask the seller to measure the thickness exactly and check with your bezel ?

Another option is to wait that OF member Mcgyver has finished his experimentations, and get one from him:
