Fluted Bezel Re-cut Machine.

[chiragkharote]

Hi there,
I've made this machine for Re-cutting Rolex Fluted Bezels.

Please have a look below.
Attached are some photos of the machine & before/after.

I cannot post a link here as it is my first post, but video can be found on Youtube by the name :

Rolex Datejust / Day-date Fluted Bezel Re-Cutting / Re-Polish

Thank You.

Interesting.

Any other information on the gold bezel, like the model?
Did you weigh the gold bezel before / after? Curious how much you lost?

[chiragkharote]

Hey!
I've never cut an original bezel. I just make these and sell to watch polishers.
You can check out their work on Instagram.

Wow. Great.

[CarlOver]

Finished cuts look great. I have seen laser welding and recutting that turns out good too. I think many watch owners appreciate that process since it retains the original bezel.

Wow! Spectacular. I can’t stand those “recently polished” watches where the bezels are rounded off and look like crap. The cut is so important to the light dance!

Game changer for sure. Along with laser welding!

Only thing missing now is something for the YM platinum bezels and all of Rolex refinishing problems will be solved.

Thanks for sharing OP!

Who else does that kind of work here in the states?

That’s a great machine OP. Would love to learn how to use that

I’m a bit confused as well. Doesn’t take much

Hey, I’m no engineer but how can you confirm proper functioning of your machine without cutting a bezel?

Instrument was likely designed to end user specifications or OP was a member of a team who developed this instrument. -Industrial Engineer ;)

A machine that he states he has never used.

[londondude]

If this is the machine that The Watch Polisher in London uses then the results are very impressive! You can see them on his instagram

What I mean to say is, I've cut a bezel on the machine, but not an original rolex bezel.

I've made a bezel out of brass for trial purposes and cut that on this machine. That confirmed the proper functioning of the machine.

For the flute V angles, I went to an AD to measure the angle on the actual watch and made the cutting tool accordingly.

Sorry for any confusions. My bad.

And yes, I've posted this for marketing purposes only.

Sorry again.

Would be happy to answer if there are any more questions.


The image attached is from a client from Germany, just taught him to use the machine 3 days back.

[chiragkharote]

Yes sir, it is the same machine.

Infact the photo of the machine attached in my first post is the same machine which was shipped to him.

Impressive! Thank you for sharing.

[Kevin of Larchmont]

Impressive results. Thank you for the clarification.

[brandrea]

Good to know OP, well done

Very nice outcome.

[vesnyder]

That is awesome! Any idea what they charge to recut the bezel? I have a 1983 Datejust that could use a recut.

[2000-NJDEVILS]

To the OP (Chirag) -
Great pictures!
I hope that you you have a Lawyer in Mumbai India and file for a patent on your invention!

[ltmgeller]

Awesome

[worldofoyster]

Basically OP is making after market bezel from raw metals. he doesn't resharpen used/damaged bezel on the watch

[frank gama]

Awesome.

[Osmin]

Wow, really nice! Thanks for posting this

No no ... the OP did that for testing purposes and while building the machine. I assume due to limited access to a genuine bezel.

The machine has been used by his customers (the end user of the machine) to resharpen used/damaged bezels on THEIR client's watches.

This machine is as cutting edge as the fluted cuts!
