fear not SS bezel daytona owners

i posted a thread in the past 12 hrs that got locked

not really sure why as no rules were broken. i have seen MANY modified rolexes on this forums. pics of modified rolexes are not against the rules.

IF anyone can explain to me...please do....

anyways....it appears that rolex forgot one thing.....the ss daytona can be fitted with a ceramic bezel!!!!!!

just saying.....

Well aside from reposting a locked thread

I have nothing to fear, I have my Daytona and I am happy with what I own.

i didnt repost a locked thread. i posted a new thread. why was my other thread locked in the first place??? i didnt break any forum rules. many many many modified rolexes are posted on this site.

the rolex is 100% authentic sold by the largest grey dealer in Toronto Canada

not a fake.

not my fault that rolex failed to think out the possibility that a ceramic bezel could be fitted onto an existing 116520

truth be told whether you purchased this one or a bnib black dial ceramic from basel....when on the wrist, no one would know.

i thought it would make for interesting conversation

IN FACT....it makes me wonder if one managed to source an authentic ceramic bezel from rolex as well that it could be easily retrofitted onto the existing 116520

That's a fake bezel that's why?

Compare the markings against a pic of the genuine item!

Ceramic bezel is 1000-1200$
Real cost to roles 100$??!!
Fitting it is a whole different story.
Remember that they will make sure it does not fit the old SS somehow.
Not to mention that they don't sell Rolex parts period.

But they have tried to make it look identical to the Rolex bezel so to me it's a fake bezel regardless!

I own a highly modified 114060 but I draw the line between modified and fake when you use aftermarket parts to imitate something it's not!

aftermarket not fake

Many watches on this site modified with aftermarket bezels

Points being. No rules broken and establishing of the fact that a ceramic bezel can be installed on a 116520 daytona.

Clearly if one can source an authentic black ceramic bezel it will beable to be retrofitted on existing 116520

With a fake bezel... There's a guy selling them for $100. You have no idea whether the real bezel will retrofit.

Each to their own I guess and maybe I'm off with calling it fake but I don't like the idea of making a 116520 look like a 116500, one thing though this aftermarket/fake bezel may have been designed to fit the 116520 case so there's no guarantee a genuine 116500 bezel will fit the 116520 case.

Rolex use two different bezel to case/crystal fitment on the Daytona.
