The only person who had access to this bezel after I cut it open was my watch smith who has been in business for thirty plus years. (The time source in Huntington Long Island). Immediately when I opened it I noticed it wasn't as beveled as the black one I already had. I scratched it by the 22 hour marker trying to get it in. I find it hard to believe that he switched it just as much as I think it is fake. It may have been mismarked or mis labeled.



I respect this forum and would never pass off real merchandise as fake. As you can see in my other listing that was pulled, I advertised as aftermarket and also did so on other respectable forums. I am an outstanding member in all my other forums and eBay.



With that said I don't appreciate the berating I got in the is it real section. It's a Saturday on a holiday weekend and I get accused of being a run away theif.



The two hundred dollars dosent mean that much to me. I would like you to have my bezel free if charge to analyze for yourself.



I find it hard to believe that you can judge this items authenticity by pictures.

I make no claim against you.
Just in my opinion, based on that photo #4 - I hard it very difficult to believe the bezel is Rolex Genuine Piece.

No more no less
Regards

That wasn't meant for you, just prior posts where I was accused of running away. Im not accusing anyone as I would only buy from someone well established and know I personally cut the package open. I will admit I used pressure to try to get the insert to fit and may have flattened it some as well as scratched it as we can see. I would like to send this bezel insert to anyone who is actually qualified to examine and keep. My loss is your gain.

Thanks.
I am not qualified enough on bezels, but it would be worth taking it to an AD to get to the bottom of it all.

Use this example to analyze your aftermarket insert:

.
Look at the 20 and 22 on both aftermarket inserts (yours and Ebay)...
