Rolex 16613 Project
Hello everyone,
I've been working on a complete renovation of a 16613 and will post photographs when completed, if anyone is interested. So far I have renewed the hands, dial, crystal and carried out extensive polishing of the case, which looked as though it had been worn by an exceptionally clumsy Bricklayer. The final part I need before a full service is the bezel. I managed to buy a used bezel insert in excellent condition with the matching dial, so just need the bezel itself. Having said that, the damaged bezel pops off and on nicely but looks as though it's been used as a hammer for most of it's life so has a great distressed look to it, which I quite like in a weird way! So my dilemma is where can I obtain a new solid gold bezel as I refuse to pay the ludicrous Rolex brand new cost? Any suggestions very welcome. |
