When you buy a New 16600 M serial Sea-Dweller, is it supposed to come with a bezel protector?

It's not a big deal to me.. I'm just curious.

Safetrends · 6 June 2010, 06:59 AM

Yes and be careful of bezel protector theif's........................

sleddog · 6 June 2010, 07:13 AM

Yes.......It should come with a Bezel protector if purchased from an AD Marie!!

Stelz · 6 June 2010, 07:15 AM

I went back to my AD and asked for one. He pulled out a box of them and gave me two. I would check with your AD or see one. It seems like a lot of them pull them off when they put in the display box. Good luck!!

nauticajoe · 6 June 2010, 07:20 AM

Mine came with one.

PeterT · 6 June 2010, 07:22 AM

It is different to the protector supplied to the Sub date, check carefully if you find one. The SD protector does not have a notch cut out for the winding crown and is also slightly smaller than the Sub date protector.

It did come from an AD and was shipped from out of state. It didn't have one on it or in the box, so I figured I would check with you guys first.
It is for my father-in-law's birthday in August.
Thanks

That is good to know. I will probably drop them an email about it Monday.

I bet she was!!!!

The feeling of giving is just awesome and you and your hubby deserve good karma 10 fold with the gifts you guys have purchased over the last few months!!!
Good luck with the bezel protector..

I have bought them that came with the protector and bought them that did not. I don't worry about it really. My LV I just bought did not have the bezel protector but did come with the box that it was shipped in to the AD from RUSA.

Trust me. I am not the one who worries about these things.

Thanks for all the great info guys!

CoopJr · 6 June 2010, 12:36 PM

I wouldn't worry Marie. My LV didn't come with one nor did my GMT. Other than protecting the bezel from the factory in route to the AD, I don't think it has a purpose.

Why do you think I was afraid to even bring it up?

I may not have been here for that thread...but I did read it.

The bezel protector is just packaging to protect watch in transit from Switzerland to AD.Many ADs just discard them at purchase after all you would not wear the watch with the bezel protector on would you.In reality its just a piece of plastic, and of no use when wearing the watch in normal watch wearing life.

HL65 · 6 June 2010, 09:46 PM

Wouldn't worry about-makes no difference as long as bezel was not scratched. You won't be wearing a bezel protector--so no big deal--Enjoy!!!

BASSETHOUNDS · 6 June 2010, 09:51 PM

Great choice Marie ! I was lucky to locate one of these in Dallas this week thanks to "Springer" . Sure mine will have a bezel protector on it

Well, if one is in need of one we do know where to go to get one, OSCAR rocks.

Remember we are dealing with a Rolex and everything counts when buying one.

There's no telling what an AD will give you with the watch. My local AD throws out the bezel protectors and the two foam sheets that are in the box, so you get the boxes, watch, booklets, and tags. It's also common for them to use different sized boxes all the time for SS Sport models.

The last one you send back and it was fitted with a TT Jubilee band that Submariner. You don't think I will see that?
You keep the battery too. Thats why you don't get the protector on the last one.

I still have them.

Next time I hope you send me the notepad.

But please not in the orginal box.

Safetrends · 7 June 2010, 04:57 AM

Jocke, did the 5513 come with a bezel protection?
