http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=483513 This discussion above seems to imply that it is possible to upgrade my old Seamaster Pro 300M aluminum with the newer ceramic bezel, below: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291944620361Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network I'd like to know if anyone's tried this or knows anything about it. I already replaced my aluminum bezel once ($300+) and it is scratched again.... frustrating....
Lemme get this straight Mr Bond..... ●You intentionally want to make a straight cosmetic touch up of swapping your older SMP 300 aluminium bezel + aluminium or steel inserts with the modern ceramic bezel with the ceramic inserts ? That means retaining the wave dial instead of the solid glossy newer version , all green lume , black on white date wheel & older bracelet ? So basically that means it's a Franken watch? I have a nagging feeling the upgrade is possible provided both bezel & bezel inserts are changed en bloc but before you commit to your cause , please open the following link I have provided & understand the message Mr @Archer is trying to convey https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur.../&share_tid=4845&share_fid=20374&share_type=t
It will be a custom watch Miss Fox. I think it will look great/better with the wave dial compared to the new flat. Thank you for your concern; I read the article you provided. I will take it to a watch maker to actually do the deed, but I need to know if it really will fit before I make the purchase...
Is a good point.... I did do that (tiny chipp) to my Montblanc Sport after banging the watch to a hallway corner, but it is barely noticeable. Scratches are far more likely I think vs high impact... I was simply reaching for something behind metal door, I barely touched anything I think, but there it was.... nice big scratch on the anodized aluminum.
