Rolex Gold Bezel Replacement
I'd like to get a pre-owned datejust with gold bezel. But most have been polished and then rounds the sharp angles of the fluted bezel. So I wonder what the cost might be to buy a new gold fluted bezel and have it put on to replace one that's been buffed out. Any ideas??

Probably many hundreds of dollars . .. 'guessing' $700? $800? . ... has the rest of the watch also been too heavily polished?

I just saw a parts receipt for a gold fluted replacement bezel. It was $1700 I believe.
Not surprised. Like a wedding band but more work and more gold content. |

In Europe a 18ct replacement bezel for a 16233 is approx 850€ and for a 116233 870€

With all the swaps to aftermarket diamond bezels there should be a gazillion original fluted bezels for all models available on the market.
