Am I Mad?

[Des511]

Hi
I own a lovely Noob 42mm Planet ocean Pumpkin from the Noob factory which I have had for a while.
Everything about the watch is stunning but I have been wondering about the orange Bezel which I understand is a bit of a tell compared to the Gen.
I plan on keeping this watch for as long as it functions so here is the question, would I be crazy to spend money on a Gen Bezel?

Thanks

Well... if you can afford the gen bezel...

Best upgrade for the pumpkin IMO.

Well I have just enough in my secret watch slush fund but half of me is thinking I am crazy and the other half is thinking because everything else is so good on the watch that the Gen bezel might just finish it off.

Well I think I got a little ahead of myself as it seems Cousins do not stock the Orange Ceramic Bezel that I need unless I missed something.

Sorry to be a pain but I have just found this on the Cousins site-Bezel, Stainless Steel With Orange Insert, Omega 082SU1773 Product Code: X22401
Can anybody advise if this is the one I need.

Thanks

You are not crazy until you spend 3000 usd or more on your rep CrPo

And that is the correct bezel (X22401) if you have the older version PO. If its the new one called CrPo with open case back so you can see the movement it's the wrong bezel.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes I have the CrPo so thats that plan out the window, maybe I will have a look at some Panerai Reps instead .
Thank you to everyone who has replied.

Just get the correct part number for the bezel and order it in. Took 3 week for my 45mm orange bezel (8500 caliber) to come in. You do it all through the Cousinsuk web site ( that is unless this thing about omega not letting external companies get parts has happened. Santre? MrPap? )

I got my case back for the 2500 last week so cousins are still supplying. Final piece of the jigsaw!

The Swatch group will stop supply in January 2015 so better get the parts you need now. There are also ridiculous long delivery times on some parts waiting on a gen date wheel to fit the 8500 movement it was ordered 3 and a half month ago. The bezel you are looking for is for the case no. 168.1665 and have the spare part no. 082SU2146 in the omega service system. It's the compleate bezel assembly. But you have to request the item as its not listed. Best regards
