It is aftermarket steel bezel. It came from watchesparts.com.

I have two other bezels (on my Meteorite and my white Arab 116519) from them that have the numbers laser etched. On this one it is engraved.

However they seem to be out of business now.

Out of business ... oh no, damn ;{

The bezel looks not perfect, but pretty decent. Definitely better than the Noob bezels used to be ...
Here for reference my 116509 SS-Blue from NF ... (wrong 120 position, wrong "O" in "HOUR", wrong letterspace between the numbers etc.)



Always looking for a good upgrade for that ... so if you hear maybe something, would be great if you let us know.

Ah, and the new CF bezel is ok, but also not perfect, especially the Zeros are so wrong ... why oh whyyyyyy?! :(

Gorgeous. So i've been thinking, this watch actually don't exist with oysterflex stock but i'm starting to really want to get it and put on a vulchromatic red stripe rubberB strap using the end link it comes with (like the current wg oysterflex model). The problem is that if u search the watch in their menu it suggest the old deployant over here cuz that's how it was on this model: https://rubberb.com/en/rolex-watch-...lassic-series-vulchromatic®?selected-color=55
The current oysterflex model does not have the vulcrhomatic red stripe option tho: https://rubberb.com/en/rolex-watch-band-products/daytona-on-oysterflex-band?selected-color=138
I think the solution would be getting a vulchromatic option for the rose gold model from here: https://rubberb.com/en/rolex-watch-...lassic-series-vulchromatic®?selected-color=55
It should be the same sizing, suitable for the new style deployant etc.
What do you guys think, is it going to work? :)

This look <3

It's correct for the era the dial is mimicking.

So ROLEX DID make the coronet similar to this version from CF. But the CF is still a bit to "skinny" in the middle part (over the bottom hole).



The same/similar "skinny" crown is used for the 116519LN from CF:


And here it also appears sometimes thick sometime skinny on the gens:






In contrast to that on the 116518 YG ... CF uses this coronet:



... which is really close to the gen one:




Well, I figured this all out of course after I ordered the grey 116519LN from CF (from TrustyTime at the end of July)... and in between I was a little down cause of that skinny coronet ... It hopefully will arrive in the next days (yup, waiting for around 2 months now :rolleyes:) ... and then I will see how this all appears without super detailed macro-shots ... and I guess/hope, it will not really bother me AT ALL ;)
