Does the new GEN bezel fit on the ARF case or is the rehaut too tall?

If you install that bezel, wouldnt half of the crystal’s height be showing? I think its. 5 digit bezel to me

this was the advert on the listing.
i have also uploaded a gen 116234 so you can see how thin the bezel looks compared to arf
Hi, I have ARF 116234 fluted bezels and gen 116234 fluted bezel here. Your bezel definitely isn’t a gen 116234 job. I noticed straight away from the pic. It should be as ‘tall’ as the ARF Bezel’s depth not shallow like that. Does look like a bezel for an older model rather than six digit. But if you can, please may you update us on how things will work along with the install. I can’t imagine how it’ll be yet with the crystal gasket and xtal on a shorter, lightweight fluted bezel. Want things to work out for ya! Please keep us updated to see if we can get you fixed up with anything that’ll work out nice.
D’you know yet which crystal gasket you had planned to use for your build boss? ARF stock gasket or a gen gasket from which type of blister pack please?

slackervibes Oh sorry Slackz, I wrote my last reply without reading your second posted question. I understand what you were asking better now, ignore my reply

I actually purchased a dial from this same seller and received it a few days ago. The reason I ask about fit is because, despite the seller insisting otherwise, I don’t think it’s made for a 6-digit DJ.
With that said, I sent both my watch and newly acquired bezel to [mention]watchservicesny [/mention] and he said that the bezel is correct for a 6-digit but it’s the ARF’s rehaut that is too tall? I’m still very confused at this point.

[mention]Kerushi11 [/mention] no worries! Any interest in selling one of your gen fluted bezels?
Looks like I will be needed to replace the one I purchased :/ lol

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 ;-)
