I hope I don't sound like a total newb for asking but is it possible to actually replace the fixed bezel on the Explorer II ir is it attached to the case? I googled it but can't find a definitve answer...

TheDude · 24 March 2010, 04:43 AM

Yes.

It can be replaced, just go to a local Rolex AD and they can tell you how and what. I sure hope it's attatched to the case though or else it probably would be falling off...;-)

Yes. Pressure fit. Just like any Rolex. Even the ones with a rotating bezel have a pressure fitted bezel below to keep the crystal in place.

Yes, as said!

Cut yourself a little slack. You haven't even been here five years yet.

Yes, i am not sure if the Bezel is only a RSC product.

Had mine replaced at an AD and it came back looking like a new watch, it was needed!

All bezels are Rolex only replacements now. Rikki

Thanks again guys... any idea what it would cost for a new one?

Jackxv · 24 March 2010, 07:26 PM

A bezel costs 115 euro, about 150 dollars US.
