Rolex 6263 Mk 4 Bezel - Gen or Rep ?

[dropbear2008]

I am about to pull the trigger on this little beauty. Looks like a legit 6263 Mk4 bezel to me. At least I have never seen a rep with rounded "S" in this quality. What do you think - Gen or Rep ?

I'm pretty sure it's gen. At least it's not from Phong.

Not sure how much they're asking for it, but Phong's latest mk4 bezels are superb. Don't take my word for it.

I have to say that the Phong's bezel is pretty impressive, compared to my gen one...

That was Valty via PM.

I'll take some pics and show you. Crappy iphone pics, though.

Looks gen to me too....

Thanks guys. Had my heart beating a little when I saw the new Phong bezel. But it looks like his dots are a little closer to the numbers (looking at the 200,180,160...)

It's getting harder and harder to spot these things.

The bezel showed by OP looks original to me too : printings are OK, and the thickness looks OK too

The only real "tell" between a gen & replacement is the thickness of the bezel : I've never seen an aftermarket bezel with the correct thickness - it is always thinner

You should ask a photo of the profile of the bezel, just to be sure

At this point, provenance is key. If you are paying more than rep prices, remember to buy the seller before you buy the watch (or Rolex part).

Thanks guys. I think I'll send the payment. Seller looks legit and has sold Rolex items with positive feedback before. If this is a rep it's the most convincing I have ever seen.
