“The good: This is a nice bezel. The lume is strong and the numbers are crisp and sharp. The black paint is deep and rich. Good fitment too inside LIW's coin edge bezel.
The bad: First, it had too little spots of white on the inside part of the insert at the 11 and 1 o'clock positions where it seems the manufacturer failed to paint over the white ceramic. This doesn't really bother me that much, but I feel it's worth mentioning.
Second, the edges are a bit sharp for me. I feel with it rubbing the inside of a sleeve over time it will wear on the fibers of a shirt or jacket cuff. This is because the OEM flat crystal has a beveled edge that leaves the inside edge of the bezel insert exposed. The insert also sits above the crystal a bit. This issue may not bother others as much. As for me I plan on going to a sapphire insert. I believe those edges are smooth and rounded.”
“I placed this black Ceramic Bezel on my Orient Mako & Wow!! I just love it. I always felt the numbers on my original Mako bezel were just to small and didn't look right. The added bonus of how great the black ceramic shines & how great it glows is fantastic. I couldn't be happier. I had minor issue with the 1st bezel insert not sitting properly and Marc was super!! He sent me out a replacement insert that worked perfectly. Marc is not only knowledgeable but really cares about the customer experience. Every time I am complimented or someone asks about the watch, we discuss the watch and I always end with mentioning that i bought it from Long Island Watch. If Marc sells it, you should be buying from Long Island Watch!!!”
“The quality of the ceramic bezel insert and lume is top-notch! Perfectly matches Seiko’s LumiBrite. Delivery took only 8 business days to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada!”
