I have a Date-Just that I was thinking on putting a diamond bezel on it (keeping the gold bezel) and I was just wondering if I could do it and how do all think it would look. I use it as my dress watch. The watch is out of warranty.

somethink like this.

Also wondering what the cost of a bezel like that would cost. all of your input is welcomed, good and bad.

Thanks

Good Day

If you use an aftermarket bezel you'll compromise the value and integrity of your watch not to mention no certified Rolex person will work on it. JMO Rikki

No please don't do it. That is one of my favorite references. Modding it would be a crime. Just my opinion mind you.

I wouldn't neither.

Don't do it. It's a much classier look when original IMO.

Here, is you're best answer!

Not only will it compromise the integrity of the seal, IMO, it will cheapen the watch?

Having said that, if diamonds are a must and favored by yourself, go for it!
It's your watch, and you need to love it!

Looks like the majority say no and I was on the fence with doing it. I guess I will leave this beautiful watch as is. Thanks for all of your input. BTW does anyone know where to get a pre-owned Submariner or Deep Sea.

Good Day
