Makesbelieve
·Hello lovely people of the OF,
I know this is a long shot but I'm looking to replace the bezel on my Omega Day Date:
Reference: 3520.50.00 (Rhodium‑plated)
Year: 1999
Cal: 1151
I have stumbled upon this replacement bezel on a trading site for $105 USD.
The description of the bezel gives no indication of its authenticity and only says:
"Speedmaster bezel 4th, 5th"
... which is a little confusing. So all I have to go on are these images and that vague item description.
So my questions are:
1. Do you think this is a legitimate Omega bezel?
2. Would this bezel fit my Day Date?
3. Is it easy to swap the bezel out or would I need a watchmaker to do the work for me?
Again, I know this is kind of a long shot given the lack of information but this is all I have to go off. Also the sale would be done through a Japanese proxy service so asking the seller questions is not an option.
I have added a picture of my day date where you can see the wear on the inner part of the Tachymetre close to the crystal.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
