Anybody knows if the fluted bezel is rhodium plated? Seems like my bezel is not as brilliant as before. May be because I cleaned it with soap and a soft toothbrush. Read online that you should not use a toothbrush on rhodium plated items. Any ideas how to rejuvenate it and get rid of little stains? Or am I just imagining things?

I have bought two of these separately and I can confirm that they are definitely rhodiumplated.

I have not heard about soap attacking plating but I can imagine that the rep plating will be very very thin. Also a toothbrush may have some leftover toothpaste and with the combination of the brush this vould attack the plating.

Just wash it water and something soft like a towel.

There are at least two forum watch makers in the UK that can help you out

Has anyone ordered a two tone ARF yet?

How are you confirming that they are rhodium plated?

I'm no jewelry expert but this article states that Rhodium plating over SS is a 3 step process, the first step of which is to plate the SS with gold, I don't buy it. Even if it was rhodium plated, that plating wears off in 6 months, why would anyone bother doing it in the first place, let alone a dirty illegal Chinese factory? Hmmm, no...

You don’t need gold, copper, nickel etc can be used

Anyone knows where I can get a replacement fluted bezel? Mine is quite tarnished and I can't seem to get it back to the original condition.

You can ask your TD from where you bought your watch.
Perhaps also another TD, when you have good business relationship and ask there for this part.

Also a very nice and good looking part is from watchparts24.com

Very nice look and also very sparkling.

Would this fit a 116234? It says for all models up to 2009, so I guess not.

I am experiencing the same issue with mine, looks quite dirty. Would love to get it replaced but can't even find gen ones.

Thanks! Checked with a TD before but they could not get it. Not keen on buying a new watch just for the bezel. Haha.

Oh yes sorry. My fault. I bought this in the past for a 5-digit DJ. You are right.
But the look of this part (5-digit fluted bezel) is very GEN like. Very sparkling.

The best would be to ask your TD for the bezel.
Should be doable for him, if he has good connection to the factory.

Yes would make no sense to buy the entire watch only for the bezel.
But I think the TD's should be able to source it.

Hey guys, just got my ARF Datejust v2 and I'm having a hard time removing links from the bracelet. The screws are too tight, anyone has any tips? Thanks.

Put the link in boiling water for 15 seconds, will break the loctite. If needed, dip into cold water immediately to help with the process if the steel is too hot to touch.
