Help Creating a Bezel Insert

Hey guys, I’m currently posting this as I would like to hear some insight from some of y’all on how to make a bezel insert. I’m currently trying to make a replacement bezel insert for my Omega Seamaster 165.024 mod, that I made with a WatchDives WD1967Q, but don’t like the insert that it currently has and it’s crooked. The insert size is 37mm outer diameter and an inner diameter of 30mm. Does anyone have any information or can point me to the right direction to get this project started? Thank you all in advance.

By make you mean replace with an aftermarket bezel or actually create something custom? If it’s the former you just have to pull off the old one, it’s likely held on by 3m double sided tape. Premade bezels are cheap and easy to find on the Asian market. Making one or getting one made is likely going to cost far more then you think unless you are making 100+

I wanna create a custom bezel that’s flat. I keep running into the issue that the style of bezel i need in dimension is not available. So bc of that, I’ve resorted to wanting to make one. Thank you still and i appreciate the insight on this!
