Rolliworks. They just did a similar repair and it turned out amazing. Go to the watch tech forum.

This. If you replace do it now while they still make parts although it may be a service bezel. This isn’t bad. Leave it. Better to have it original. I have a scuff mark on my SS model and I’m leaving it for that reason.

laser welding + a light polish on the lapping machine can definitely make your bezel look better.

That is pretty impressive, to me at least. Was it a straight up polish, or was it more complex than that? In any case, I'm super happy for you!

He explains that working on gold is easier than steel, because it is less brittle and can easily form and manupulated to cover the dent...

Yah I generally agree. Gold was easier but after laser welding lots and lots of steel, steel is much easier for us. Lookin good!

How much did you pay to repair the dent on the bezel?

I'm in the same boat and will readily admit I'm OCD about my watches. As a consequence, I'm stainless steel only.

Looks like the words units per hour is nice and worn down also with the polish...see how it looks blurry now because the edges of the letters are polished away....hard pass on that polish job for me
