Hi all, I've seen another thread with a pic of a rgrc without the rubber coating and it looks amazing!

My bezel isn't in greta shape and I tought I could do that. Does anyone know how to do it?

Tks

You have to take the bezel off to do it properly. Soak in an organic solvent in a well ventilated area and then peel off. Gasoline or methylene chloride should work fine.

Sounds interesting... Pics?

Does anybody have a picture of the bezel after peeling the rubber off? How about more pics of the watch after the service?

I wouldn't do it! Get it repaired by AP.

I have seen this done. You can tell by the dial colour. Certain dials only come on rubberclads. The dealers selling them probably know that anyone who knows AP's will not buy the watch. It's usually done to cut the cost of the replacement and repair by AP.

You could try burning it off or use a sharp blade. I won't be taking the rubber off mine.

The rubber wraps around the entire bezel so it'll look bad without removing it from the entire bezel.

Chemistry is, well technically, chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change.
