ap123ap 0 Posted June 15, 2015 Ordered a blue bezel from aliexpress as the original bezel looked tired. The colour is significantly different to the face. Do you guys think the contrast works or does it look odd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electron17 0 Posted June 15, 2015 Colour all wrong, does nothing for me maybe even spoils the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ap123ap 0 Posted June 15, 2015 Colour all wrong, does nothing for me maybe even spoils the watch. I get what you are saying. The face is more of a greeny blue than just a blue. Any ideas where i could get a colour matched bezel for it from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electron17 0 Posted June 15, 2015 Maybe try one of the TD's, I have the gen of this watch and that bezel insert just does not do it. Maybe even post a want to buy in the relevant section for the correct colour bezel insert. You could even check out eBay for one the correct colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe even post a want to buy in the relevant section for the correct colour bezel insert. You could even check out eBay for one the correct colour. Sounds like a plan. Any idea what the face colour is called or is it just referred to a 'blue'? Edited June 15, 2015 by ap123ap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electron17 0 Posted June 15, 2015 Took mine out to check, the face colour is a dark blue whereas you bezel colour is more of a bright blue. Hope you can find the correct colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electron17 0 Posted June 15, 2015 Try taking a look at the watch on the Omega watch site, you should see the correct colour there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckbass 0 Posted June 16, 2015 I reckon this looks pretty cool. Do you mind if I ask what (if any) glue/adhesive you used to stick this back on?? I've just ordered new inserts for my Black Bay! Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniel10n 0 Posted June 16, 2015 I dig it man. Sometimes people get wrapped up in trying to make a watch look gen that they forget what's just "nice". I think it's cool and unique! Wear it well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digger2 0 Posted June 18, 2015 I think it looks a bit odd but the lume markers and the pearl also sticks out if you just see it as a cheap rep it is ok I think. Here are pics of my old gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtguk 0 Posted June 18, 2015 Gotta say it looks a tad too bright to me, I have the gen too and your's just looks off colour, have you tried a wtb for a Gen insert? Usually a few knocking around the forums and not too pricey either. You could of course just try and age it a tad instead..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattcrx 8 Posted June 18, 2015 Ye I think it's abit too bright! keep it on until you source the correct colour. Didn't look stupid though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keeperke 0 Posted June 18, 2015 Bit bright for me, but if you can buy a rolex smurf why not You can't argue over taste they say in Latin ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chec1977 0 Posted June 18, 2015 Yo much green in the markers to much blue in the the bezel. Matter of taste, if you want the watch to impress some then don't, if you want the watch for Your own enjoyment, then who Cares, right? You can get a gen dial 150 on eBay though.

ap123ap 0 Posted June 19, 2015 I think i will try to source one that is closer to gen. It does dramatically change the appearance of the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
