Ladies 36 mm Datejust Pink Flower Dial ?

I just gave my wife the SS 36 mm pink flower face watch. I had a hard time finding one with the jubilee bracelet but I did and it came with the smooth ss bezel. My wife likes the diamond bezel like this one: http://www.rolex.com/en#/rolex-watch...oduction_video

http://www.rolex.com/en#/rolex-watch...t36/worn-watch


I know it is not a well regarded idea to use aftermarket mods on a rolex but...
I need some advice on the best way to do this ? Recommendations of where to buy a diamond bezel ? Does swapping out the bezel affect the water proofing ? Thanks, David

A diamond bezel is a very common enhancement for the DJ..

Try Alan Furman in Rockport MD, they carry a good selection of aftermarket bezels.. so will many jewelers who carry used Rolex watches..

Bear in mind, an aftermarket bezel and Rolex will refuse service if necessary.. however, you can always take it off if required, or use one of the many good independent watchmakers..

Why didn't you get the watch with the diamond bezel? I hate the way aftermarket bezels look.

Thank god my wife doesn't care for the diamonds. I ordered the same watch with the white gold fluted and oyster band. She loves it

The dealers near me only had the watch with a oyster band and diamond bezel. My wife likes the jubilee, she has a smal wrist. I had to take out 5 links. I plan to buy the same quality diamonds that rolex uses. Can one order the rolex diamond bezel for this watch since they offer it on this SS model ?

Its too late for it but every AD in NYC has it exactly as you stated. I had a difficult time finding the one my wife wanted so I just ended up special ordering it.

Yeah I have seen the combo you were looking for. Should have asked the dealer to order it for you or looked called around to other ADs not just in your area to see if they had what you wanted.

Get ready for a sticker shock when the AD tells you the cost for ordering a new diamond bezel.
Not sure how much it will run but it is not going to be cheap.
Since it is going to be White Gold with Diamonds be prepared for a price tag of $5K and up from Rolex.

This may sound like a dumb question but here it goes. If you order the watch with the steel bezel or the diamond bezel are the bracelets both the same ie stainless steel ? Another way to ask this question does the watch that comes from the factory with diamond bezel a SS jubilee band or two tone white gold and stainless band ?

There are no TT white gold Jubilee bracelets.. They are either solid WG, or SS. There is a 10,000 dollar difference in price..
