Refurbishing a yachtmaster bezel insert?
I'm looking at buying a pre-loved yachtmaster platinum model but the bezel insert has some pretty good scuffs.
Any idea what the cost is to have it refinished? Thanks |

You'll have to send it to rsc as I believe there is a special tool for that -
Or so I've been told. |

There's a thread on here about refinishing the blasted finish.

Rikki did mine and did a fabulous job-
as you can see from this first picture it appears the previous owner had polished the bezel....   next 2 Pictures shows the watch after the spa treatment at club Rikki  In person the watch is nothing short of amazing.!

If the service history is unknown, I'd do as Peter said and do it upon purchase...

What kind of cost is involved? Did you send the whole watch or just the bezel? |

What is the part # on a red date wheel and are they easy to come by here on TRF?
Also, I have always been told that RSC will not install parts (even though original Rolex parts) to a watch if they did not come factory with that particular model; is it possible to request a red date wheel at time of service? I've tried this with trying to get them to replace a black dial with a Polar on a 16570 and they will not do it. |
