How to Determine Original Bezel

[Thunn]

I have a 116200 that has an aftermarket diamond bezel. I am wanting to take it back to original. How do I find if the original bezel was fluted or smooth? Thanks for your assistance

Original would have a engine turned bezel.

Maybe the best and simplest solution will be to have the current bezel removed and send the watch to your preferred RSC when it's time for a service and they will be most obliging with regard to puting the original type of bezel on your watch

One of those other types of bezel that aren't smooth or fluted

I thought the standard bezel on a 116200 is a domed smooth bezel.

The diamond bezelled ones (There are quite a few available on the internet) are all aftermarket.

Sort of like all of these for the original .....

Fluted bezels are gold, and are found on TT and gold models, not on the Stainless Steel only models.

116200 = smooth
116234 = fluted
