How hard is it to change the bezel on a datejust, can you do it yourself or do you need to have a watchmaker change it? Edd

The bezel is a press fit..

If a person is careful, there is no particular reason why you couldn't do it yourself..

Here is the correct tool...but you can do it with a razor blade and pen knife too.

Well, I for my part would not do the bezel change at home. Better take it to a Rolex trained watch maker at your AD and have it done professionally, also to insure the seal at the crystal is intact afterwards. The bezel makes sure that the crystal and seals stay together.
