So here's my thoughts, if you are going to replace the bezel assembly also replace the retainer ring otherwise you are going to have some issues with the fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is a beautiful thing. What are the specs? Wow, I'd love to own a gen 5517 some day but I fear I'd have to sell my house to buy one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, thanks for the post and pics Mike. From a pile of parts to a beautiful 5513, you are amazing. I'll pick up a rotor and have it swapped later. Amazing work my friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New retaining ring is a perfect fit! Getting closer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Success!!!!! New insert and new retainer ring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hence why I bought a sealed Gen retainer ring to go with the new bezel, none of which were ever installed. I think you are right, after time, swapping crystals etc. the metal is stretched and bezels no longer fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This hobby is painfully addictive and expensive. I myself am sinking more damn money into a Gen build 5513 and it hurts. Also, have you thought of looking for a different model? Maybe you can find something different that you like. Just a thought.

Well gents, just ended up sinking 300 bucks into a brand new gen retaining ring, (sealed) so I pray I am finished. Once this project is finished I´m not taking it off, damn this has been painful.

Now that's a bit harsh even for me. Life's hard tyrant, and it only gets worse sometimes, you just have to get up in the morning and face the day. Nobody here is going to want you gone but you need to relax. Just hang around, contribute and play nice and you will be accepted with welcome arms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, I have just bought a Gen sealed bezel ring, I assume a brand new gen sealed bezel assembly will fit without any problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an entire bezel assembly from Rolex less the retaining ring. I don't think buying another entire assembly is going to fix the issue. Gen retaining rings should all have the same measurements it just doesn't make sense to have them made by Rolex which won't fit their bezels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys, I wonder if someone more knowledgeable than myself can help me. Does anyone know the diameter of a genuine crystal retaining ring. I have one (supposedly gen) which measures 35.52 which is larger than my gen bezel assembly which measures 35.3, obviously the assembly cannot fit on a retaining ring which is larger. The bezel Is gen and from a sealed package so I know it's gen. Any help? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Opps, I meant a 5513, not 5514 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Me too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Throwback Thursday. I couldn't resist, long gone but I sure miss her. 100% Gen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
