Newbie Question???

Hello All. Im new to the site. Bought a DJ from Ben Bridge and always wanted a white face with Roman numerals. Unfortunately, they only have one with a smoooth bezel. I want to change it for a fluted one and Ben Bridge told me that they dont do that thing. I need to buy a new one (Are you kidding?)
Anyway, I found one online and it said that is authentic. Is it? Thank you all for your help. Also, Will it void the warranty If I do change it?

Hi Michael,
Welcome to TRF.
First off I personally love the smooth bezel, but that is my preference.
Secondly Beckertime have been dealing in watches and accessories for a long while and I'd say if they are selling it, it should be fine, but that bezel is for a Mid-size DJ not a full size DJ.
The Mid size is only 31mm case size while the full size gents DJ is 36mm.
I am presuming you bought a gents (36mm) size, so this bezel is not any use to you.

What size is your DJ and do you need a WG or YG bezel?

I believe that once the watch is "altered" from the way that it came from the factory-(bezel changes, crystal changes from factory plastic to saphire, etc)that factory Rolex repair probably will not touch it.

All you would have to do is change the bezel out yourself and if you needed to send it in for service-exchange the bezel for the original one again-and you should be fine. Harley Earl

I have a midsize. My wrist is just 6" Good to know they are legit.

Why do you want to spoil that beauty with a fluted bezel
Mind you I guess you will have the best of both worlds if you keep the smooth bezel too.

Beckertime is reliable.

They sell a lot of watches on ebay.

I think I have bought something from them before, but I can't remember what.

Thanks for all the reply. I guess I just have to leave the smooth bezel for now. I will buy that fluted bezel anyway in case I decide to change it.
