Rubber Bezel, scratched
My rubber bezel got a little nick/scratch in it, actually a very very slight slice on the surface. Should I just live with this?
To the other Rubber Clad owners, do you have any nicks/scratches on your rubber bezel? Full bezel replacement is $700

I would live with it unless it really bothers you. Perhaps when you get it serviced next you can replace it.

Word of warning to RG ROO rubber bezel owners. The rubber covering on the RG has RG underneath rather the SS which the normal ones have. Replacement is very costly. Also be aware of AM bezels when buying second hand AP's.
To the op I would leave it till the next service. |

Thats one thing that has concerned me about the rubber bezel. At first I thought it was a great idea. Then I saw examples of we worn bezels. Then I saw the bill to replace one!

Leave it for the next service, and if my memory serves me right, AP offer a service for re-coating the bezel.

Live with it, it is still so darn GORGEOUS!

More scratches will follow. Wait until it really needs to be replaced.

Thanks. Never knew that. It makes it easier for me to go for the new RG ROO ceramic instead.
