It does look nice on an Oysterflex.

Aftermarket bezel?

Aftermarket bezel?

[/QUOTE]

Yes it’ll do until I can source an OEM bezel...was going to sell the watch with the SS bezel because it never sang to me...did the mods now it’s like my grail and wear it all the time

+All very easy to reverse if need be

Looks awesome, doubt few could tell the difference between OEM and aftermarket, lots available on eBay, I grabbed one the other day just to have the option.

They fit 16520 and 116520 - the Zenith's would look smokin' with this Mod IMO.

How easy it it to change the bezel?

jpdjpd17 · 22 April 2018, 02:41 AM

That's a great look! Nicely done!

jay_kay · 23 April 2018, 06:19 PM

Bezel change was no issue for my local watchmaker, 10 minute job. Must say I'm loving the look of it more and more. I've even started contemplating swapping the bezel back and selling my 16610LV and the 116520 to buy a WHite Gold Daytona and put the ceramic bezel on that! Its the wear I have seen on older WG Daytonas bezels which has pretty much been the only reason I haven't got one sooner.

The hunt for a nice 116509 begins.

Sorry for the poor quality of photos...

Looks great. Amazing how the ceramic bezels really take the Daytona to a whole new level aesthetically.

Agreed!

Well 116500 has flat sub dials ...
Almost impossible to get a real oem ceramic bezel .
Don't want an eBay bezel looks fake

Chadridv · 26 April 2018, 11:53 PM

wow that's awesome!

jay_kay · 27 May 2018, 07:03 AM

Well the love affair was somewhat short lived. My 116520 needed a service so off its gone to RSC and for obvious reasons the ceramic bezel came back off and is now for sale.

In honesty the 116520 looks perfect with its stainless steel bezel. The ceramic is best left for the 116500!

Identical actually.

I don’t notice the difference to be honest, looks good though. Just like the regular Daytona

Nycturbovr6 · 27 May 2018, 10:41 PM

Nice!

Caduceus · 27 May 2018, 10:44 PM

Simply fantastic.

peterszew · 27 May 2018, 11:05 PM
