Practically any independent watchmaker should be able to put your aftermarket bezel on.

Very few Authorized Rolex Dealers/watchmakers will do this for you.

I have bought two Rolex's from AD B.C. Clark in OKC.

You can have your watch serviced there, but they will NOT touch it if it's aftermarket.

From other post's and pics, it looks easy enough to do yourself.

Rolex won't do it because it is aftermarket, but most any other watch guy in the mall will be able to do it.
You can do it yourself quite easily, there are lots of tutorials as to how to do it.
It's simply pops off. Takes about a minute.

What Rolex do you have and what kind of bezel are you going to put on?

I would look in the YP for a watchmaker, just make sure to get your old bezel back as Rolex will confiscate the aftermarket one if ever sent in for service.

If you put that on, Rolex most likley will not even work on the watch.

I was standing in the RSC Dallas when a lady wanted to do the same thing using a similar gem set bezel.
The Rolex girl stated that if her watch had a bezel put on that wasn't offered as an option, then RSC would not even touch the watch. Even if the bezel was geuine. RSC Dallas would NOT install it!

Had something to do with fitting/Crystal clearence/ blah blah.

Just FYI

RSC in NYC charged me $61 to put a new bezel on my submariner. Why go through all the trouble of aftermarket. Step up and pay the $61. I waited while they did it, took about 20 minutes.

Just my 2 cents

Watch worked on in OKC

Go to Charlie in OKC, he is on 39th expressway, the name of his company is Watches Etc. He will also have the right factory Rolex part...which in my opinion is what you should stick with.
