Bezel Ring Mod

[visualplane]

Where can I find a bezel ring for the submariner (non ceramic) in different styles? Is there a smooth one out there, or something like the tudor that has more flat ridges? thanks

Why the heck would you do that? Completely ruin the watch? Just buy a different watch

[fskywalker]

You mean the insert or the bezel assembly?

[albmich]

Pretty confident based on his description that he's not referring to the insert...isn't that obvious? The insert is already smooth and Tudor doesn't make a flat ridge insert...

It really makes no sense to do this. That's like putting some continental tires you bought from Walmart on a Ferrari. Just doesn't make sense

Continental actually makes some great tires, they just don't focus on performance tires. I think Cooper tires is a better analogy.

Ferraris typically come with Pirelli, Bridgestone, toyo, or Michelin. Not continental tires from Walmart

Yup, and as I just mentioned.... You found 1 example. And they "typically" do not come as such. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...9160542AAloVie

Anyone can provide money for a sponsorship

You're also reading awkwardly too far into this. I said "continental tires from
Walmart" which is certainly not how your Ferrari in the link won the race. Are you suggesting putting a smooth bezel on a submariner is a good idea? Or just trying to be cute?

Keep the ceramic! It wouldn't look right with that type of bezel in my opinion. Please don't take this the wrong way, I just wouldn't put a fake/aftermarket bezel on your authentic Rolex. You wouldn't want to change the appearance to the point where it looks fake. But hey, it's your watch... I am a vintage guy so all original/unpolished means a lot to me.

I understand the reason behind wanting to Frankenstein your own watch, but at least use real parts...That's just my opinion! I do think there are some cool mods out there, mainly the very simple small mods like hand/ bracelet/ date wheels, etc...😬👍🏼

I'm just grinding your gears
I agree, smooth bezel on a Sub would just be dumb
I couldn't resist, that's all

Back OT - aftermarket bezels can be made but that would definitely affect how the rotating feature works since your fingers would slip on a domed bezel (smooth). Also, often these aftermarket bezels have poor fitment that can cause them to fly off.
