That's exactly what I've seen, some of my friends have the rubberclad models and that's what I've noticed...hence I posted this thread haha...
I'm not sure what to say to you...so let me try and be more clear.
1. I just moved to Singapore, they have an AP service centre and they can polish my watch for me
2. The above is a fact I am already aware of, and therefore, not a question I was asking
3. Why do you keep presuming it was a rep? I'm not the kind of person to buy a replica and I would definitely not wear a replica watch outside the house if I had one LOL
4. The official AP service centre will not sell me a rubber bezel as it's modifying the watch
5. If you know where to buy a GENUINE rubber bezel, then let me know
