Aww thats no good, sorry to hear about that. PM your dealer and they will source one for you at a cost.

Did you first take off the bezel? Or did you only remove the bezel insert?

 

Send a mail to Reg, maybe he'll source one for you.

You should really pop the bezel assembly first then remove the insert. Hopefully your TD will be able to source a replacement for you at cost as mentioned above :)

I don´t think the bezel assembly is meant to be removed. At least that was our friend 10:10 watch repair pointed out to me on a thread I posted about replacing my PO LM pearl and crystal. He told me the bezel assembly in our reps is not designed to be removed, that when someone tries to remove it 90% of the times end up with a broken or damaged bezel assembly.

 

You can source an aftermaket PO bezel in Amazon from the store called EWP, here is the link to a 42mm bezel insert:

The part is good quality and is not expensive. I´ve purchased many times from them and even though the parts are not same quality as gen, they have a good overall quality.

 

Cheers!

You're gonna have a tough time sourcing that bezel. Its a fantasy insert. Nothing like the new omega ceramic inserts. Even the aluminium one may not fit... if all else fails, you may need to buy a new po altogether. The current skyfall rep is pretty cheap anyway...

Maybe is because the franken projects are all based on the UPO (45.5mm), but this cheap rep versions does not have the removable bezel assembly. ;)

Check the link I share on my first reply to your thread. I´m sure one of those aftermarket bezel inserts will do fine.

If your TD cannot replace your bezel for cost, then surely one of these will fit?

I can't imagine these above are gen's at the prices listed, so must be reps, so worth a try mate.

 

You are right, those are not genuine parts but aftermarket ones. The quality is good.

Remove ceramic bezels from the inside out, or very carefully using dental floss and heat.
