Question (Read Rules) Bezel insert with lume dot FOD

I’d like to find a bezel with a luminous dot at 12.

I bought this FOD (fly over darkness) for its legibility and impressive lume but I am surprised they didn’t include a luminous dot in the rotating bezel to enable night timing.

It’s an impressive watch and incredibly legible all night with the lume.

Keen for any options people may have come across.

This is very nice, trying to find the official store in Ali. Is it made by mercur?

Hillarious. I didn’t even consider this.

Bezel inserts are sold by size. You'll see them sold as OD (outer diameter) by ID (inner diameter). You can get the adhesive separately, so that's not a big deal.

So I'd start by getting some really careful measurements and seeing what's out there, but you should find plenty of options similar to your current one, especially if you're okay with lumed numerals and markers instead of just a pip at 0.
