Case measurement specs
New to the forum. Couple of questions. First does people have experience with aftermarket diamond bezels? I purchased one for about $800 for my wife’s 26mm date just. Talking to watch service people and I have been told that they are concerned about pressure testing. Second question does anyone have a link to case specs on outside and inside measurements. If I have to change it myself I’m considering it, but I need to know measurements for the proper die to have 3d printed for the press.
Any help would be appreciated. |

If I understand you correctly, you have an aftermarket bezel and want to know the ID and OD dimensions? Do you have calipers? There could be numerous aftermarket bezels out there. Do you need to 3D print something to pop off the curent bezel? Are you asking what are the dimensions ID and OD of the current bezel? Is there concern about pressure testing the aftermarket diamond bezel because the diamond might pop out? If so, couldn’t it be pressure tested without the bezel on? Why the need to pressure test unless the case has been opened? Will the wife bathe with diamond bezel DJ on the wrist?
So many questions… |

The only aftermarket thing I’d put, on any Rolex, is a high quality strap. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mess with it. Just my opinion, of course.

Ok so I measured the inside dimensions of the bezel I bought. Does anyone know what the inside diameter measurement of a 6917 factory bezel is?
