116234 & 16234 - Difference in Bezel?

Hey guys,

I want to change my steel bezel to a new WG-Bezel for my 116234 (DJ 36mm).

Is the WG-Fluted Bezel identical from the 16234 to the 116234?

Because the market is full with 16234 old bezels.. but didn't saw a 116234 bezel so far.

Is there any tip to see the difference between the 116234 and the 16234 WG-bezels?

Would really appreciate the help!

Thanks

I might be confused, because the 116234 was made with a WG fluted bezel. The 116200 was made with a smooth steel bezel.

Don't do it !

Your watch would become a Frankenwatch.

The model number will not match the watch.

The value of the watch will become €0

Yes but it will require a plastic ring to make it fit correctly. Ask your seller.
I would do whatever you want and enjoy your watch.
You can always save the original bezel if you want to sell it.

Correct, I have the 116200 but would like to have the fluted WG bezel.

But the problem is that I don’t saw any for sale :/

And i really need this plastic ring? Never heard of this :o

Did you ever find out in the end if a 5 digit WG Bezel will fit a 6 digit watch?
