Tools needed to change bezel on datejust
I'm thinking about picking up a fluted bezel for my 116200. What are the tools needed to remove the old one and install the new bezel?

The bezel holds the crystal with gasket in place, it's pretty easy to damage the gasket and comprise the water resistance if you don't know what you're doing.

Removing a bezel on a kitchen table will end in tears. You may be lucky and get away with it but there is a high probability you will scratch the watch.
It's your choice but I wouldn't do it. Regards Mick |

If you try to do it yourself, Rolex will refuse to service it in the future. I once had the case with a DJII bezel.

Agree with comments above , . It will probably only end in tears, & cost you more in the long run to make good, due to the high probability of damage caused .

  But in this case it's best to not do it yourself, trust me.

Only make an attempt if you have the special tooling needed and experience to do so. A knive is for sure not the proper tool.
Also know, when you take off the bezel your delron glass seal needs replacement. Do you have access to a new genuine part? Please go to an AD or watchmaker with a Rolex parts account. It is not worth the risk to do it yourself. RonP Watchmaker |
