Rolex turn o graph

[Bec]

Hi all
I am new to the forum
I have a turn o graph it is 1969 all the case marking are correct
I have a couple of question
Do the bezels on all turn o graphs turn I think mine has seized up
Also have opened the watch up and it has a 1556 engraved on the upper bridge
Have noticed that most of them have a 1570
I also think the dial has been refurbished at some point but not sure this was my stepdads but he has passed away but do remember him saying he had the dial done at some point
Any information would be appreciated
Thanks
All

Welcome to the forum. It should turn. Check some of the threads on here to get more info.

The bezel should turn. Sounds like a bridge may have been replaced in the movement. Photos would help.

If it's a ref. 1625, after the mid-1960s the 1575 caliber movement was used. As others have said, the bezel should turn.

Assuming your metal ring is correct, you will need to remove the ring and make sure the spring is inside and clean out any gunk and reassemble making sure it will turn.

Nice if you have the equipment to make a new one.
I would still keep an eye out on Ebay and such as you might find an inner ring for a fair price.
It would be great too if you could get it welded/soldered and cleaned up.

I agree with you on the dial.
I’ve never seen that exact style of Buckley dial with the extra gold markers before.
It’s definitely unique but I kind of like the busy look of it.

Aftermarket bezel retaining rings are available for about $50. Sometimes they require some adjusting.
