ARRGG !!! TT BLUE SUB Bezel Ding
The one thing I feared has happened, I got a nice little ding on my bezel at about 1:00 !! How much do you guys think it will cost to replace the bezel on a 2008 TT Blue face Sub? Just want to make sure I don't get ripped off at a dealer.

Keep wearing it! That way you wont' be as disappointed when it happens again!
I just wish I could take my own advice. :) |

If the scalloped bezel ring is not damaged it won't be too costly. Get some blue nail polish :p

What for a new gold bezel you would not get a S.steel one for that the bezel insert perhaps.

A blue permanent marker might improve it. It'll rub off the shiny paintjob but stay in the rough scuff. I'd buy the finest point I could find and test them on a similar surface to see if I could get it near as possible to the original colour. Might save you a few quid but it won't be perfect... Also it might make the wait a little more bearable if you have to order a new insert.

Ceramic is nice, but I hate what they did to the BLUE COLOR !!! (no offense). The older blue is more appealing to me.

I would leave it alone. Just wear the watch and enjoy it with all the scratches and dings.
If you get a new bezel insert, what is going to stop that one from getting dinged. Buying replacement parts for everytime you get a scratch will drive you nuts and get expensive :) |

You have a point, I agree. It's only the fact that the bezel is one of the things many people (including myself) zoom in on when they see the watch. I am still happy with it and intend to wear it as much as I can |
