Chris just checking is the WSO gen spec bezel a plug and play swap? I got some work done tightening my flippy floppy bezel. Is this a good solution for future reference?

Yes, it was plug&play.
But you can also try a tension ring from cousinsUK. My cartel bezel was also tight just with this ring.
It's something about £6 at cousinsUK

This is my Omega Dynamic 1012 that I bought off eBay for $550.
As you can see in the shots it was quite beaten up.

To my big surprise it came with an extra strap, all original with original buckle as well!

I first sent it to the watchguy in the UK, I read about their stunning revisions on their website always. I asked them to maybe do a revision. They didn't have good news for me, told me they couldn't do it and sent it back. I now know they can only fix or clean up Omega parts but can't order them.
So I went to an authorized Omega watch center here in Belgium and asked them. The dial was not really fixable. The same dial that was on there originally was not available anymore so I ordered a different one. Also a new glass and new hands. They sent the case to Omega to have it brushed. And of course a total service of the movement.

Now it looks like this.
