I would be extremely surprised if it was genuine. The minute hashes and the shape of the triangle are different from those you normally see. And the pip seems slightly offset.
Also, the ceramic part doesn't come separately from the steel bezel. Someone ordered an aftermarket inlay and crammed it into the steel bezel 🤦
I think we refer this as “the voice of reason”
It might help the thread if you (OP) disclose where you bought it from.
Ughhh. Well on the plus side my local OB has the correct bezel and can install it for me.
I got it from a guy on Reddit in the WatchExchange. He had plenty of good feedback. It came with the service slip from Omega as well as a couple parts in a small baggy that were replaced at the service.
Glad they worked it out.. I remember seeing the for sale ad for your watch and thought the bezel swap looked off. I wonder if a 'real' LM bezel would be raised like the way yours was.
p.s. nice hat.
It's very straightforward if you know what you are doing, and have the proper tools. If you use an Omega certified watchmaker, they should be competent, and have the right tools, and they can get you the bezel. If you choose someone who isn't, then you have no idea what you will end up with.
Here is the bezel off a watch that was sent to me for repairs after the owner took it to another watchmaker for a "simple" bezel swap:
He not only bent the shit out of the bezel, but he severely damaged the case in the process of trying to pry the bezel off with a knife...so I guess it depends on how lucky you feel.
Cheers, Al
