45.5mm PO pearl

[geegee78]

I am about to pull the trigger on the 45.5mm UPO. So i am trying to find the best and easiest way to fix the pearl.

Since there seems to be a lot talk about the pearl not being right on the latest PO model (or any of them for that fact), so I am trying to find the best and easiest way to fix the pearl.

I was wondering if this bezel is any better than the ones that come as standard from the dealers?

if there is a better after market bezel that can be bought (not including the gen) could you please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

It's either that one, or gen.

This is not an "Bezel" but an "Insert" that goes on the bezel ... and it is the best aftermarket you can find I think...

I have one for a 45mm PO that I never used. I sold the watch before I put it on. It is from the same ebay company wholesaleoutlet990. The pearl is centered really well too. I'd sell mine in the CONUS for $20 if you want it, and free shipping.

Tracy, not sure if your inserts available but if it is I'll take it from you.

I got on 42mm insert from them and it wasn't any better than the rep one IMO. In fact in comparing the silver stripe size and numerals to a gen, the rep was actually closer.

Tracy, can post a photo of the insert?

I actually just snagged the insert off Tracy. The pearl is dead center on this one boys.

I'm going to swap out my UPO pearl with the crappy one on the eBay insert. Should look more gen like. For $23.00, why the hell not?

Same here the bezel markings from these guys are terrible. The pearl on the other hand is actually better but not the markings.
Check out the triangle and how the black bleeds out...
Is there any way to just swap the pearl?

Hopefully the one I just got isn't as bad.

I've bought SMP inserts from these guys and never had a problem. Must be a hit and miss thing.
