Looking at 16750 Bezel, need advice

I would like to color up my 16750 with a blue and red bezel insert (now has a faded black one). Wow, talk about a minefield! Everything from 75$ to 2000+$.
Before I make a mistake, would the experts give me an opinion about this one?

Back for more help. I think I have determined that this particular bezel is for acrylic glass, but I have not determined whether ist is genuine.
Opinions?

Looks genuine but has a thin font.

Great insert. Definitely genuine as mentioned. I'd take this over a "fat font" any day.
