NIce... still looking for an affordable silver dial option. I am too... I have bought the non-Oyster dial just because it's impossible to find a silver / oyster dial these days But you already know that...

freddy333 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Nice, but I think your black bezel may be aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Nice, but I think our black bezel may be aftermarket. No it is not, it was bought from one of our valuable member wiesn089 one month ago, 100% sealed in Rolex service plastic box. It's a MKIV, to be clear. 2 photos of the bezel sealed, and 1 better photo to see it (just look at this amazing typo) Trust me, there is no way this bezel is aftermarket R.

superlative Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Any pics of the bottoms of the bezels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Beautiful, Valty (especially the RCD dial)! I can't wait to see how both builds turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolex has officially removed the "TELL" from the aftermarket bezels we have been using. Just when you think you have Rolex parts pegged, something comes along and changes the game. AWESOME!!!

lhooq Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 The printing on the bezel insert looks correct for a service unit. The only thing that seems off to me is the distance of the markings from the inner edge. But that's not to say it isn't a genuine Rolex. I think the "Mk IV" label covers several subtypes, including inserts with pointed 4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 wow! big investment already and not a V72 in sight ... love it, good job P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Any pics of the bottoms of the bezels? Not now, but why do you need that ? YES!!!!! Rolex has officially removed the "TELL" from the aftermarket bezels we have been using. Just when you think you have Rolex parts pegged, something comes along and changes the game. AWESOME!!! ...only for one bezel, recently bought from service... Anyway, the "110" and the typo on aftermarket are the "real tell" to me The printing on the bezel insert looks correct for a service unit. The only thing that seems off to me is the distance of the markings from the inner edge. But that's not to say it isn't a genuine Rolex. I think the "Mk IV" label covers several subtypes, including inserts with pointed 4s. To be honest, I really prefer when there is a distance between the inner and the markings ! I will be curious to see how much number of these bezel are on the market... must be interesting And of course, it is gen, there is absolutely no doubt on this point as I've seen it fully packed into the well-known Rolex packaging from service It tooks me like 20min to "extract" the bezel from it's plastic box without damaging it ! wow! big investment already and not a V72 in sight ... love it, good job P. You are right, and you are wrong Right because I will not use a v72 into my builds, I prefer the 726 so much that I decided to make only 6263 and 6265 for now And wrong because the white dial / black bezel will go on my 6263; already viewed here. The black dial - with gen hands -, and the metal bezel will go on my future 6265. The 2nd 726 is already here, and the case will be here very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronos_2004 has been offering aftermarket parts before (as confirmed by VRF guys, when he offered me one of his 6263 bezels after one of his ebay sales "fell through"), the one Valty bought from me is directly from RSC via a very well known AD in my hometown, it doesn't get more genuine than this.

Very good to know, S. It can be very tempting to believe that there are absolute, unchanging truths when it comes to vintage Rolex. However, there always emerges evidence to the contrary!

Valty Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 FYI guys, I just found this... : Disclaimer : no, it is NOT my watch It is almost the same black bezel, from service, and same distances for the markings And... considering this great cool awesome spectacular Tropical dial, I think we can say this watch - and this bezel too -, are 100% genuine R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Wow! Those 2 gens are stunning. Just when you thought having both a white dial and black dial version was enough... By the way, did anyone catch The Voice after the Superbowl? Adam Levine has always impressed me with his variety of Rolex watches but we got some nice shots of his Vintage Daytona! I watch more for that than the singing... And the Aguilera cleavage, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
