My Ed White has a Mint Decimeter Bezel.

I want to remove it to keep it mint and replace it with a either a like for like new Decimeter (fake is fine) or Tachymeter (fake is fine). Keeps the watch looking nice on my wrist but protects the value.

Possibly same issue with the Plexiglass, get it replaced to preserve the original.

Where would I go online (preferably UK) to get the parts?

Will then send to Simon Freese to do the work.

Modern service bezels are cheap. Why bother with fake crap?

Just wear it, any wear is deemed 'patina' now and will not hurt the value.

Is this for the speedy you have for sale?

Decimeter bezels are still available from Omega, iirc. However, ordering parts now seems to be heavily delayed or indefinitely halted.

So how much is a modern service part bezel?

Have you research this?

I haven’t bought one for about 5 years but it was around £150 back then.

they frequently pop up in the for sale section here and eBay.

I don't think Simon would be likely to agree to fit fake parts.
