Id tend to agree but there are peops on here selling Frankens that apparently have gen bezels so not all that out of the question. and not all that expensive judging by the prices, maybe a bit of wait yes but maybe the same time as waiting for a V3 replicated version, I kinda wasnt worrying about the logistics.
Hmmmm... I have to admit that I'm not a regular occupant of the Rolex space, but last time I looked into this issue (at the height of the Rolex bubble), the prices for particular Rolex parts were astronomic and Pepsi parts were among the most expensive ones...
Are you sure the ones you saw were not just high-end aftermarket items?
