Gen bezel on PO XL

[kidcreole]

Hi folks is anyone offering this mod service?

Or should I just mod the gen insert instead?

Thx

I would just get a gen insert, that mod is major work and I think a one off try.
In truth I never really considered changing anything but the crystal on mine.(Sunnydale A/R)
No one is going to notice the slightly low pearl. (except maybe yourself)
Here's mine.(early Swiss UPO)

Nice. What's the easiest way to reshape the insert? Did you use a Drexel?

Not a gen insert, the insert is the original rep insert.
You can tell because the pearl sits a little low in the triangle.
I never tried to fit a gen insert, I just put in a "sunnydale" crystal.
Only guys like us will ever see the difference in the inserts.(the general public never)
Good luck on whatever you attempt!

On the arm.
