Rolex Datejust 16013......can I fit a turn o graph 16253 bezel???

Looking to change things up a bit.

Seemingly I think it would work. Any pros here mind chiming in?

Thinking of removing the gold fluted off my 16013 (plexi Crystal) and fitting a turn o graph 16253 bezel.

Do you think it should work??

This one:

I know the older models used slightly different cases. I’d be interested to hear if this model can be changed.

I'd imagine the bezel actually has to mount to something, and I think in the WatchTech forum there's even some documentation on how the bezel of the ToG actually mounts. I'd imagine that if it wear easy to simply mount a ToG bezel on a standard Datejust, we'd see it more frequently.

I think you’re right. I’m going to dig a little more and see if I can find anything. If I’m successful I’ll share the info!

After some research I’m happy to say the 16263 bezel fits the 16013 Datejust!!!
