If use used bezel and crystal retaining ring

[J.S.]

Guys of Rolex land. I got one question!

I'm going to answer it too but want to know for sure caus I can't make my mind up...

 

(all parts gen) If I will use used bezel with used crystal retaining ring, what will happen? It will sit loose or friction ring will hold it OK or bezel will fall off?

 

I'm asking it because Im so in between of buying used or new parts. New will be twice the sum but they are new.

 

 

Thanks!

As long as the crystal gasket is good, you should be ok

Thanks! Older retaining rings will strech out but with new gasket it might hold.

What about bezel ring? Will those strech or wear out so there is no good edge and retaining ring can't hold it in place?

 

I'm thinking to turn my 16570 to 16710.
