Ok, so I bought a Seamaster PO from silix over the summer. I love the watch but I need a a couple things for it.

Heres a link to the watch I bought
http://www.silix-prime.co/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_231&products_id=3869


1. The bezel on my watch is orange, but it has silver numbers. Omega does not make an orange bezel PO with silver numbers. Does the PO from silix accept new bezels? Where can I get a black one for cheap?

2. I need a new clasp or bracelet. The current clasp on the PO is not based of the gen (at least I don't think it is). The engravings on the clasp are completely different from the gen. The silix does not say "Seamaster" on it, instead it says "Seamastei." Plus there is no PLANET OCEAN written on it.

Best case, you can post in the 'wanted' section for a used orange numeral dial that is a leftover from someone's franken. Otherwise, it looks like you got a good watch for $35.

Some gen owners swap the orange bezel onto the dial with white numbers. I think it looks better than the orange numbers personally. I wouldn't worry too much about fixing the bracelet, you got a good watch for $35 . But it has enough flaws that it would cost you so much more to make it "right". Just enjoy it.
