Thank you this is very cool. I love the barked bezels and bracelets, not so easy to find.

I was at a knee doctor's office one day and the client ahead of me in line to schedule next appointment had a Barked DD -AND- aftermarket bark treatment on the brushed areas similar to that shown above. I was too speechless to say anything.

Noticed that some bezel are completely barked while some seems to have "indices" intervals. In your post, it is 18078 vs. 18248. I have also seen 18078s with the "interval barked" bezels. Can you enlighten on this? Thanks! |

Which do you prefer? It seems like all the bark double quick set are in ‘interval barked” style?

Thanks David! I was aware of the diamond 18048's but thought they might've used it the reference for other bezels too (like the sapphire 18048). I guess I've seen a lot of mislabeled or bezel-swapped 18048's online, but if I limit the search to the well-known auction houses sure enough, all diamonds.
I can't edit the post anymore but if a mod could remove the 18048 from the list that'd be cool. And also the 5100 (I believe Barkmaster thinks that's aftermarket last I talked to him) ![]() |

List of all barked Rolex models

Hi no such thing as a sapphire 18048 in the official catalogue ?? The 18000 series presidents were the most varied A sapphire bezel came in two forms with unique reference numbers ![]() They came in emerald and ruby versions also with 44 stone bezels. Again with unique reference numbers . In the 18000 series day dates you could also get a 24 larger baguette stone bezel in all the stones aforementioned with again unique reference numbers. See below ![]() As above the first combination stone bezel was available also in the 18000 series, what we now call rainbow bezels like the Daytona a yachtmaster with emerald, ruby and Sapphire. In the later 18200 day date series you mention the 18348 as a bark model correct but it was available in a non bark version also. ![]() Here are a few more bark models you missed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The link to 18249 (WG DD) shows a 18248, but Rob can’t edit it any longer, .. so, here’s a 18249 - I’m guessing these were not popular because white gold under-the-radar guys didn’t want the sparkly bling of bark, and vice versa. I love it.

While I’m here, does anyone have a photo of this bezel? I assume it was a 18178.

I was actually at the RSC in Dallas today and they told me that the outside links were never barked by Rolex.

I had that one years ago. Seeing yours now makes me cringe when I think I sold mine. Lovely watch.

I'd never heard of ref. 1023 before but it looks like it's barked, too:

Interesting - The bezel looks right, but I wonder whether that brick bracelet was custom work. It doesn’t look like Rolex’s other ‘barking,’ but I’m not sure I’ve seen another barked-brick. (I do have a Florentine brick, and on it, the decoration on the bracelet matches the bezel more closely.) Do you have any other barked brick bracelets (or images) to compare?
