Bezel claim could get interesting, I will only accept MK I bezel for mine. Once again, glad you raised the question.

Very interested and well spotted OP. I have the new BLNR on jubilee and can confirm it has very sharp edges.

Different colour, first batch that came out was more of a purple/pink rather than blue/red.
All replacement bezels I've seen are MK2, so if one breaks the MK1 and really wants that as replacement you're out of luck. |

And people were mocking me for wondering if I should keep riding around on my bike with it. Two feet only for mine now.

Market is what market is, MK1 was produced for a short time so will indeed be more valuable, especially in the long run. |

470CHF, not including cost of placement (if outside of service) and taxes. For the insert only, on exchange base with HQ.

I guess it would be based on whether it’s zirconium dioxide or aluminum oxide used for the ceramic, but it would be great to get your insights. Also, exactly how big is the difference in durability for Rolex to have to redesign the bezel? Thank you. And finally a thread that is not the usual ‘scarcity/price’ related discussions on TRF. |

I've noticed the bezel teeth on the submariner are sharper than the gmt. but didn't know Rolex deploy different bezel on gmt variants.

Seems that the 2018 insert is thiner as my mk2 isnt as deeply recessed in the bezel ring and the crystal is a little flusher
