I wish someone would produce a really good replica that matches the original, for around £60, but the rubbish that's out there isn’t even worth considering.
Imo its the poor lume pip and badly matched blue anodising.
As Clarkson would say, “How hard can it be?”
Yes, absolutely OP.
I'm in desperate need of one for my 2541.80 but refuse to pay c. £400 for the pleasure IF I can even find one, I only paid £625 for the watch!
I've been looking at the aftermarket ones available on eBay recently but nothing even comes close.
Hi,
Minimum investment for custom anodised bezel inserts is about $700-$1000, I'm definitely considering have a batch made.
I'm in!Quote:

Maybe Omega threatened the insert manufacturers banned them from 1:1 aftermarket supplying.
I would’ve thought it’s a feasible project at this price. The one I got from Cousins approx 4 years ago fitted very well, and I think the luminous pip looked OK, the blue colour was v. close, but instead of being anodised I think it was printed and the printing flaked off far too easily. It was never going to be as durable as the original and I could imagine it would look a mess in a short while.Quote:

I'm waiting for bezel insert samples so can check quality and durability.
I know it's a 3 year old thread and apologies for resurrecting it.
But!
Was there ever any end result to this?
Did anyone get a batch of these manufactured?
If not?
If any of the more experienced folk could give a lead on where I might pick up a decent quality insert for a 2535.80?
Would be very much appreciated
Add me to the list please. Just put a WTB on TZ but am guessing from this thread originals or good reps are not easy to come by.
