In my opinion, you should be able to do whatever you want and Rolex should accommodate you. I'm willing to pay the 200 bucks it is for the refinish, or whatever it is, but I want it done. buying such an expensive watch i think gives you the right to that.

I'd like to have the refinishing done, and retire the watch to less flashy piece for work and everyday use. the gold on this thing POPS, which i love, but sometimes i think its a little flashy. not to mention its propensity to be scratched.

In my case it was time for a service. I had it done at an AD in Ottawa as I live on the West Coast and there was no one here that did the refinishing, they all sent it Rolex. The AD I sent it to used the same process and medium as Rolex and I had referral from others that had used them, so I felt good about sending it.

I would imagine if your watch wasn't in need of a service and provided you spoke to the right person then it should be a possibility? I think your best chance would be with an AD that has the right equipment to do it but I would (and I did) ask a lot of questions regarding the process: will it look like the factory watch finish, do you use the same process and medium as Rolex, do you have before and after photos of watches you have done that type of thing.

The scratches are a thing with this bezel, I love the look of the watch but I think I would prefer if they went to the Black ceramic bezel like on the 116655.
