16520 bezel changed at RSC
Hi there, my original bezel on 16520 had some bad stratches and a couple of nicks so I decided to replace it with a new service bezel at RSC when I get it overhauled. The new bezel looks great on the watch but a bit different from the original one. The numbers are finer and seem to be laser engraved. The original bezel had deeper and thinker engravings. I am happy with its look now but wondering if the service bezel would affect its value in the future? What do you think? Many thanks

Its doubtful if a bezel replacement will effect the value on any modern day Rolex watch.Things like bezels crowns crown tubes crystals etc are just serviceable item and often replaced in the life of a watch.Now if you had say a very rare Rolex watch then yes that would effect the value as most would like rare vintage watches as original as possible.
