hi guys

currently planning my first watch build (arf 126334 41mm) and was wondering if anyone has had any luck or knows wether its possible to fit a gen bezel to the arf case? struggling to find a solid answer, any info would be appreciated.

thanks

Hi. It’s not possible. The gen bezel is made out of 2 metal parts and several gaskets. You have a retaining ring and the bezel separately. I’m sorry but I think that unless you find the whole gen bezel assembly(and you are lucky enough it fit your case and xtal) it’s not a direct swap.

Sorry to resurrect a three month old thread but I’m running into the same issue. I see a retaining ring and hyrtle gasket are required to complete a gen bezel assembly. What I cannot figure out is where to find the retaining ring. Can anyone offer up advice on what the part is called or where to source it? Good old Google is not helping me when I search, “retaining, compression, bezel, assembly, ring, Rolex, 126334” etc.

I’m sorry but these type of parts are only available within official rolex service circuit and I think that even parts supplier like wholesaleoutlet990 and others haven’t produced that parts yet. You have to find a skilled watchmaker which patiently makes your ring turning steel with a lathe!

Yeah my guess was it doesn’t fit without modding.

You can shave a lot the rep bezel and transform it in a retaining ring, then glue a gen bezel, but I don’t think it’s the best
