Recommendation to change Daytona bezel

[gchee]

Does anyone have a reliable watch maker that can help me change the bezel on my Daytona? Thinking of changing it to a ceramic bezel. Thanks

A potential issue which ceramic bezel might crack while removing.

Mine is aluminium changing to ceramic

Is this possible?

1st-Rolex will not sell you the bezel.
2nd-If you can catch hold of the ceramic bezel (I say, IF). Modification needs to carry out on the bezel. This will render your daytona frankenstein...
3rd-If you modified the watch case, it will render the watch worthless, either way, it will also became a frankenstein...
4th- Down the road, RSC would not accept your watch for future service & repair.
5th- Even if, you are successful in complete modification, watch aficionados find hard to accept this watch.
6th- I believe this is for self satisfaction only.

Please correct me, if I am wrong.

I presumed it is an aftermarket ceramic bezel which is widely available.

Yes it's after market bezel.  As long they don't break my alumimium bezel I'm fine.

That's why I'm asking does anyone  know a good watch maker who can change bezel without damaging my original bezel.

Try to explore some service centers at Amcorp Mall.
They should be able to do the job

Should be quite accessible. I have seen some Daytonas change to the aftermarket ceramic bezels (circa RM1,300 IIRC), and the original bezels were reportedly intact. The process is reversible so you could ensure that the value of your Daytona was not compromised, when you wanted to flip it later. Pictures below from the Net, and there are videos on Youtube showing how to DIY. For diver watches, I have done it before (didn't venture on Rolex, only Seikos) and it's as easy as a flip of the bezel removal tool / pen-knife.

Will RSC change my sub bezel black to green one if i requested for it ? Going to service my watch soon and would like to replace the bezel as well because of one little hairline scratch on the bezel.

RSC will only exchange with original bezel configuration.
