Broken Ceramic Yachtmaster 2

As the title says I've broken my ceramic bezel somehow, it hasn't been knocked. I've taken it to a jewellers and they've quoted £500
Does that sound about right?

It sounds in line with what I have heard for a new ceramic bezels + installation.

Peter (Padi56) will fill in with more details.

Do you mind sharing a photo of the wreck?

Everyone who owns a (broken) ceramic bezel Rolex never seems to own a camera.

We've had under $400 quoted for a new ceramic bezel on a subc I remember so I'd check with RSC and would rather they worked on it.

Yeah...that sounds a little on the high side to me. But, I am far from an expert.
