Rolex will not do it so you have to find one yourself and that will not be easy.

Very difficult to do. I had a new bezel on my 116520 a few months ago because a deep gouge was driving me bonkers. I was not allowed to keep the old bezel. I didn't ask for it anyway because it was of no use to me but RSC made it very clear from the off that they were keeping the old one.

In my mind, if you try to make the old model look like the new ceramic model you are sort of ‘cheating’ – which I don’t have a problem with (but Rolex do, so you probably won’t find a genuine Rolex bezel anyway)

However, if you are prepared to make your watch look like something it’s not you may as well put an after market ceramic bezel on.

I wanted to add the new gold bezel for the TT DAYTONA instead of the old one with the old. I'm not speaking about the ceramic one.

Is it straight forward if I order the new gold bezel will fix it directly? I think it's the same size and no screws or something right??

If your watch is already a TT Daytona Rolex will replace it but it will be expensive,got to ask is yours damaged beyond repair ?.Now if you want to add a TT gold bezel to a SS watch then Rolex will not change it end or story, and bezel is a simple push fit with the correct bezel press.
