Will this work on my UPO?

[RNav]

I searched this forum and read the many many posts regarding UPO bezel inserts and the only thing concrete is the Omega factory part number references. I am looking for a more economical solution since I am not interested in big dollar franken reps. Will this work?... http://cgi.ebay.com/BEZEL-INSERT-ORANGE ... dZViewItem

i think it will have to be fitted. he says you can't tell it from the gen. ask him if the one he sends is different from the picture because the one he has pictured doesn't have the orange outline under the triangle. the rep inserts are closer to gen than the one he is showing.

Rnav,
That guy sold me a band with messed up screws and his resolution was to sell me another strap for 33 bucks. Take that as you will, there was another seller on the bay who had these and looked a tad better. I would rather see you go to somewhere else to get this. Have you contacted one the dealers here? Angus, Jay?

Thanks for the responses guys! I have decided that if I am set on an Orange bezel, I will order an Orange bezel UPO. I will be selling a few reps when I return from Disney in a week and a half. This will fund a few more reps for my rotation! Thanks!

I bought a bezel from him a few months ago for my first rep and it was crap and he didnt seem to want to do anything about it.

Thank for the thought RBJ. I just do not see myself messing with a perfectly good black UPO with orange numbers for the orange bezel look. I will keep this in mine if I scratch my bezel... which I won't because I almost have OCD when wearing my watches :lol: . A quick change feature would be cool, if possible. I've heard of guys doing it, but not sure how easy it is... I am a novice, but am willing to take on repairs if absolutely needed. Thanks!

Yeah. I thought I read somewhere that BK was offering his subs with a "Transformer" option... I recall a BK GMT with a Pepsi non-Pepsi mod. The bezels appeared to snap on/off. A Transformer UPO would be cool! Black versus Orange.

It has been my experience if you trim the retaining wire short enough it will come off easier. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. This would be a fun project.
