Hello Mates,

I love my gen oyster date Rollie, specially because of the bezel, does anyone know where to find a good rep of it? It don't need to be an Oyster date, it can be a Datejust, but I'd like to find one with that bezel.

You have a nice one there. Why bother with a rep?? Probably better to get a rep of a watch you don't have yet.

Thats correct Joegrimm, I like this bezel and only found it in one air king rep selling here in our local market.

I don't know what Rolex calls that bezel, but this site calls them "bark":

If the site redirects you to the main page, just search for "bark" in the Quick Find box located on the right

Thanks mate,

Rolex call it machinery bezel, and the bark one looks to be the same.

I'll send josh an e-mail.

Oh, my mistake.......either way, its got a Breitling look to it, something I dont like much & im pretty sure Rolex only makes just one date-just with this bezel.

Its not supposed to turn and I have no idea why others started to metion the TOG.

Engine turned is a term used in how the bezel design is made.

Rolex bezel types for DJ, Airking, and Oyster Date
Fluted
Smooth
Engine Turned (your bezel)
TOG (DJ only)
Diamond encrusted
Gem encrusted

My TOG has an engine turned rotating bezel, that looks like that, but is numbered.

I found the bezel now just need to find the case!. I just bought a gen Rolex engine turned bezel for the wife's next Ladies DJ project.

Thanks a lot, let's see, it will be perfect.

Cheers.
