Yea it is! Matches the lume on the dial too. Only thing is that the pip is like a giant bulb so it’s pretty obvious it’s aftermarket

I meant if the numbers are lumed in addition to the pip. Where did you find it? Price? Wonder if the pip can be modded by replacing it with a pip from a genuine insert

Ya the numbers are lumed. It looks great actually!

I was going that route too. But the ceramic bezel doesn’t have a hole drilled through it to allow a genuine lume pip to be installed. I haven’t had time to use a pair of pliers to try and remove the existing one to see how much of a hole was drilled in tho.

I picked it up off eBay!

Right?! I wanted it to work so badly. If only the aftermarket bezels could get the lume pip right

Jeeze I think that looks good enough to put the bezel on anyway

If I’d nabbed the right bezel, I’d give it a shot! But it turns out the bezel I got was for the chrono model, which is about a millimeter thicker. total fail!

Mainly because I don’t want to modify the stock bezel in case i end up selling..

Wow. Just swapping out the bezel makes it look like a totally different watch. Amazing!

Maybe a contentious choice to Omega fanboys and purists, but for ****s and giggles I threw a ceramic bezel on my SMP 50th GMT.... I think I love it!

FYI - I found this thread: https://www.watchuseek.com/f21/matte-ceramic-bezel-insert-mod-4034970.html

It looks like that OP figured out a way to drill out the spot where the lume pip is and make it flush? Unfortunately the photos are no longer visible, but that would be a fun project if you can remove the lume pip. I'm definitely down to try this if I can get the right tools.

Nice find! Asked the OP for the pictures, let's see if he update the thread or PM them to see them!

Agreed...would like an update to the thread. Looks very sharp!
