Hi! first post! Vintage President question

Hi everyone, new to the forum since I just bought my first Rolex. I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer.

I just purchased a 1978 18KT Gold DayDate Presidential and had a question about the bezel. It contains ninety four channel set tapered baguette cut diamonds. After doing some research I was unable to find any pictures of the same bezel which is on my watch. Is this custom? Common? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

Beautiful watch, congrats.

FYI, both the bezel and dial are aftermarket.

thanks for the info guys!

can you point me to some examples of stock presidents of that era?

I'm not sure about watches, but I know adding after market parts can sometimes hurt the value of vintage items. Does the same go for rolex watches?
