Just a quick question. I have found a used 15300st, that might requires a bezel replace. Doea anyone knows an estimate charge? Aris |

They will likely also want to service your watch, not just replace the bezel. It's $1400 for service. So add that to the cost of the bezel.

Yep yep yep, so it's gonna be a lot more expensive than you think. Plus you may want AP to polish the rest of the watch to match your minty new bezel. Add that on too! |

For SS 15500, I was told “The bezel will be roughly 1200-1500 along with a complete overhaul 980. 980 is the complete service. We won’t be able to do the replacement of the bezel without a complete service.”

This is typical of AP to make a complete service mandatory - They actually often times find other seals/items that need to be replaced... At a cost, go figure.

OP, I’m glad you posted this as the thought of getting bezel replaced has never really crossed my mind. Time to pickup a beat/wornout 15300 or 15202 now.

Before you buy a new bezel. See how much it would be for an independent to restore the current bezel.
They can essentially sharpen the edges by scratching the bezel against a sanding block. You may shave a little material BUT your alternative is a completely new bezel Most likely the entire watch is worn and needs a complete service. In that case just send it in to AP. |

I know of a full service, refinish and bezel replace on a diver (15703) that was 2300 all in. Just completed in last month. So ballpark for 15300 should be similar since same movement.
