I wonder if you sent one in for service to Rolex would they refurbish the numerals? Has anyone experience with this?

Rolex Service Center don't refurbish them......

They replace the whole bezel which can cost a lot of $$$.....

do the 5 digit TOGs' bezel rotate w/o clicking into place?
that's how my old 6 digit TOG's bezel worked. rotated w/o clicking into place.

The numerals on my bezel have all but disappeared, when I am next at the AD, I'll enquire about getting it replaced, I did buy this pre owned, and they were faded but discernable upon purchase. There was an adjustment in price by the seller when this was pointed out. I will post the price, and before and after photos if I get this done.

I think that my next watch will be a new release of TOG with blue dial, let’s see how long I have to wait for it...
I vote for one like the current one with click in the bezel and non fading bezel numbers.

I've liked these from a far since the first I saw one. They seem like a compromise for someone who want both a Sub and a DJ and doesn't want to buy both.

I have an older 5 digit bezel and still love it. Only problem is the wife has claimed it, taken it to the jewelers and had it resized, now she wears it everyday.

How likely will this become a reality I wonder?

It would make a lot of sense, current TOG is very close to be perfect. Somehow I really can not see it happening soon ...
