How much does a WG "Fluted Bezel" Cost?

Hello,
Sorry if this info was in a prior thread (checked myself but I am a bit absent minded)...
I am interested in getting a WG "Fluted Bezel" for one of my domed DJ. Have seen prices on ebay (though probably half of them were fakes) and haven't had a chance to check out the local RSC yet.

So...anybody have any ideas? Thanks

I would doubt very much that RSC would change your bezel from domed to fluted because it is a completely different watch reference (model) number. They won't sell you the bezel either. You will probably have to get one somewhere in the resale market and have a watchmaker swap it out for you.

Thanks..was just curious...DJ bezels don't seem to be too popular of an item either way

Rolex won't change one style of bezel for another, and they won't let you keep your old one. The AD I go to said that replacing a WG fluted bezel (asked out of futuristic curiosity for my DD) would cost "something like $1,200 - $1,500".
