Just saw your new post OP. . So, I’m always a bit naff at explaining anything clearly
bare with me. I think what other people might be seeing and me. When you look at the watch face on, the genuine Rolex fluted bezel looks skinnier thinner than the ARF bezel, yes. And that’s right. You posting a pic of a gen Rolex is spot on like, the gen bezel is thinner and they should be than the ARF but that’s not the view I had query with.
Instead it’s the depth measurement of your gen bezel that looks much shorter than I’d know a gen 116234 fluted bezel. Does that make sense? If you set an ARF and your bezel down on a table, the bezel I think you’d bought as a 116234 bezel doesn’t come off of the table as high as the ARF in it’s depth measurement. A 116234 bezel matches the ARF in height but yours is less tall to my eye at least like an older bezel, and may affect your build if we don’t tackle it to keep the watch looking the best it can be ;-)
