Great thread and thanks for the posting! This may be the wrong place to ask, but could it be possible to replace an incorrect bezel and hands on a 2998-61 with OEM versions of the Ed White? That is, would they fit the original 2998, and would Omega or a dealer be willing to make such a sale of just those pieces as part of a repair/refurbishment of the 2998-61?

Whether or not they will fit is immaterial, Omega is no longer making parts like a new 321 ceramic bezel available to retrofit to another watch.

Great info - and thanks. So what's an Ed White owner do, say, when they need a replacement bezel or hands? Just wondering. The premise of the question is that it seems the Ed White is of a similar size and design of the original 2998 and 105.xxx watches, so could those parts or their OEM replacements be suitable retrofits? I may be misunderstanding your reply (with many thanks, BTW!).

If a new bezel is needed it will be replaced, but it's only done on an exchange basis, i.e. a new bezel is supplied when the old bezel is returned to Omega. Hands may be different.
