Is Rolex making pink bezels for the submariner? Experts, is this blue bezel original?
The visit to the watch repair man on the 31 left me with many questions. He has blue, black and green bezels available for sell. OK, I know Rolex makes those. When I returned the black bezel that doesn´t retain light, he gave me a blue bezel while I wait for the black that will match the light retention of my LV. The guy made a comment that Rolex is now producing all kind of bezel colors for the submariner including pink. Is this true? By the way, here is a picture of the blue bezel I got. I am not supposed to keep it. He said is just for me to have an original bezel while I get the black one but I know he gave me the blue since he did not want to give me back my $92 USD. This guy gives me chills. I hope he gave me a brand new original black bezel because I will get very angry if he tries to cheat. What do you think, is this blue bezel original?

Read previous eply in your OTHER thread...FAKE, FAKE, FAKE. Can't you spot the difference by looking at your LV?

Anything at the back, too, or just the numbers on the front? I think the OP may also be wondering this? Thanks. SNB |

In case you think it is a fake, please support your comment with an explanation. I want to learn to spot a fake bezel. The pictures I posted in my last thread where of the black bezel in my LV. This is a blue bezel. I know Rolex made bezels with numbers of different sizes. How do you notice it is a fake?

The font looks totally wrong.
And look at the diamond at 12. The bottom doesn't look like it has a tip. It looks like it stops at the pearl. It just looks so suspect, and in the case of Rolex rip offs, if you're not sure, then it's fake. My suggestion, just like all the other members that replied to your previous post, stay away from that merchant that you are dealing with. |

I don't like the looks of the bezel myself.
The font looks wrong. Also, if you tried weighing a blue genuine bezel insert with that one pictured on a scale, I'm sure the readings will be different...

Tough to tell in that pic, but any real blue sub bezel will have gold, not silver writing. Also, rolex only makes 4 bezels for the subs, if I am not mistaken:
black with gold writing blue with gold writing black with silver writing green with silver writing |
