Some people have said that the DJII bezel was always “flat” but looked sharp from the cut ridges. Unlike the Skydweller that has a super sharp feel.

Remember the SkyD bezel is likely wider and maybe fluted deeper because it operates by your fingers as a rotating ring to adjust the movement complications. A DJ bezel is much more just ornamental. Yours looks fantastic now. Only takes a heavy hand on the buffer wheel to round off those edges. That is one part that is best left alone if not all dinged up.

looks really good!

Perfectly done.

HogwldFLTR · 23 November 2020, 08:02 AM

That looks really excellent. I've seen bezels so thinned from polishing that there really isn't much bezel left.

JSolution · 23 November 2020, 08:10 AM

Looks great really nice job.

Onikage · 23 November 2020, 08:29 AM

The Sky Dweller definitely has steeper and sharper flutes. Don't worry now. It looks a lot lot better. 300 bucks well spent there. This is what RSC should do.

wrxsti · 23 November 2020, 08:43 AM

Did someone over polish the bezel initially? Looks like new after

peterpl · 23 November 2020, 08:45 AM

Bro!!! that is 10000x nicer.

Now you can stop worrying and enjoy your watch.

Haha thanks!!

Nice job, that seems like a lot of work for somebody to do for $300. I believe a new bezel is somewhere in the $2k range.

fmc000 · 24 November 2020, 12:40 AM

Please extend my compliments to your watchmaker for a job very well done.

joli160 · 24 November 2020, 12:45 AM

Literally looks brand new. Amazing job.

NachoNeal · 26 December 2020, 01:51 AM

I wouldn't trust just anyone to do that job. That looks good.

Looks great. As good or better than new on a DJ.
