I noticed that Cousins out of the UK sell Omega as well as rolex Bezel Inserts (generic). Has anyone bought one? How are the pearls?

Ferrariman,
I bought mine stateside from the bay. I thought it was too dark of a blue. Again, I have it (still) because I did not use it. I did take the pearl out to epoxy it back in but never did. So if you are looking for the blue bond bezel insert then I can help you.

I've purchased 3 SMP chrono inserts from 3 different dealers--those with sites & those just on the 'Bay.
They're all shit, to be honest. Numbers are printed sloppy, off center, and WAY to thick, blue is completely the wrong color, and 2 of them even came with pearls shaped for a Sub & not an SMP.
Just write a dealer & buy one of their inserts--sadly, they're much better.

I think they're only 10 bucks; if they'll even charge you. I'd start with the dealer you got the SMP from & just tell them you need another one. They might send one free of charge--happened to me.

Re:
I measured twice and then went on faith. It had the same dimensions as posted on Otto Frei and then I crossed the part over to what was available on watchmaterial and they were the same just 30.00 or so cheaper. They have another on watch material by I cannot figure out what it fits because they changed the part number. So, I would call your AD with the part # from Otto Frei. Jared Jewlers is nation wide and carry Omega at select stores, try them first. Or you could just order the one from watchmaterial and return it if it doesn't look like a match. You can call watchmaterial but if you get the wrong person they won't help you too much other than saying we are out and then hang up.
