Bezel A or Bezel B
Opinion on A (factory) or B (faded OEM) for Tudor BB GMT.
Bezel is not on the watch just laid it over OEM bezel. I like a vintage vibe but do I do bezel insert swap?
4/30 7:00 pm Thanks for the feedback. I had a chance to swap today and went for it, so it's B for now. I have the original bezel and can swap it back to A at any time.

I dig the vintage option B. If you’re experienced, go for it man! I’ve never replaced a bezel on a watch, so my word doesn’t hold much; if you know how to do it without messing up the chapter ring, I say do it
Have to be my watch guy do it. I can’t find a good bezel insert swap video for this watch anywhere
I love my watches in its original conditions bezel, bracelet etc unless it is a low budget watch, so bezel A
Already swapped the bracelet to more tapered Forstner. And heresy I lightly brush finished the shiny sides. I am already off the wagon 😎

Bezel A. Let it fade on its own.
A for me

Might as well do the bezel swap. I think it looks pretty good. Really leans into the vintage heritage.
Hmm… idk. Personally I wouldn’t mess with its alignment, but I can understand the appeal. I think seeing it wear could bring some uniquely-yours-ness to it
faded looks more in line with the watch
Bezel A - Let it fade on its own 🤙🏽
I’d keep it factory and save the mods for a Seiko
I would personally keep it original with A. If you let it fade naturally then the dial will fade and match it. Putting B on upsets the color balance in my opinion. It won't match the dial.
A, it matches the dial/lume

Option B. Have a watch maker do the change. It’s worth the money as you wouldn’t want to harm your baby. 😍
I would also let it happen naturally. So A
Stick with factory bezel
