Changing Bezel on a Speedy

Hello;

Would putting a stainless bezel on a Speedmaster Professional void any warranty? Would it make it a "Frankenwatch" or ruin its value? Would I be ruining it from an "all original" standpoint?

I found this site, http://www.ofrei.com/page663.html . Are these genuine Omega parts?

You can easily replace it back to normal and no it won't hurt the value if you still retain the original bezel.

Ofrei is all original unless stated otherwise

Does the case need to be opened to switch out bezels?

nope just a bezel removal tool will pop off the bezel then you need a press to pop it back on very simple.

We have a very reputable watch guy here in town who is a big Omega fan - sounds like it would be a no-brainer for him.

I am having a really hard time decifering all the Speedmaster models and deciding which one to be my first!!!!
