Gen Orange Rubber fitted to UPO

[mattcops]

I went into London today to fetch myself a gen strap. I have just finished fitting the gen orange rubber strap with gen deployment clasp.

Obviously a gen strap is a gen strap, can't beat it. One thing that does bother me is the bezel colour to the strap.. Is it supposed to match? Should I now buy a gen bezel or is the rep bezel ok? I'm desperate to get a Sunnydale crystal for this watch otherwise I'm just going to have to send to wiz to get the works done, I can't have it sitting on a gen strap!

Gen bezel has a lighter orange, rep is to red.

Shit, I feared that. Thankfully I'm in the UK so I have seen somewhere I can get from cousins or something? Will have a look.

Great strap, great fit. Smokie is spot on with the colours. Very good addition to the watch though. All Orange is a bit too daring for me but I love the black with orange stitching. Looks great matt!

I need that strap.

Would someone be able to kindly help me out?!

So I am on cousins doing a search of 168.1650 and it is only coming up with black bezel and only dial they have is with white numbers...

I can see the hands and tempted to just buy them for that price so that's that sorted (looks like I'm going to go for a light Franken)

But like I say struggling to find gen orange bezel and orange numbered dial.. Preferably in UK!

Go to either cousinsuk or ofrei and you shall find what you are looking for.

Thankyou for your comment, but if you read above you can see I have already tried cousins and they don't have the orange bezel or insert. I see ofrei does but in usa.

Like I say is there an orange insert simar to gen that I can just swap over on the bezel I have?

You are looking for the wrong case number. Try 168.1653

168.1650 will get you a black bezel..... so, that makes perfect sense to me.

The gen bezel is a much better match

That UPO orange bezel is strangely reddish. The v.5 PO 42 bezel seems to be far closer to gen:

It's the lighting I have taken the pic in.. But still darker orange to gen.. Really need to find replacement

This is perfect

Are you still looking for case details for the gen case and bezel? It is for an orange bezel and case, dials, hands, crowns complete yes? 45.5mm?

I'm looking for bezel only really to be honest and yes for 45.5

No Dramas. I have the info from cousins on the case number including everything excluding the movement, and of course the strap. I might have a lead on just a bezel. I'll just have to check if its a 45.5 or 42
