If I change to CF bezel do I need to change the height? Never done that before

xxBlack- If you are changing the bezel, it is a good time to change the gasket. I know some people shave their's down a smidge, but for me it was easier to just fit a new one. To me, it was necessary... Seeing the gasket at the top edge of the rehaut every time I looked down at my wrist was driving my OCD crazy.
The gasket? For gen... Watchmakers that had held a Rolex parts account will probably still have some in inventory... ~30 years of 295/C crystals in use will mean that many of them had quite a few on hand for performing services. Then there are always the usual haunts like eB*y, Frei, etc. The gasket itself shouldn't set you back a whole lot... Should be a fairly low cost item.

ginopino- Thank you kindly, sir! Appreciate the kind words!
The gasket was something I had in my spares... So, it was a quick and easy exchange. If I recall correct, the noob crystal was .2mm taller than the gen I exchanged it with. Does not sound like a lot, but it made a considerable difference. Before, the top edge of the gasket could be seen just creeping up above the rehaut if viewed from an angle. The gasket change eliminates that.
freediver- Thank you kindly! I think it helps tremendously that the watch is extremely photogenic It's an easy watch to capture in photos...
Lartamia- Forgive my ignorance; are tapatalk users not able to see my images?
d3xophen- My watch is a noob Genuine crystal gasket fitted to bring the crystal height down a little and now wearing a CF bezel. Have some additional changes that I'll be making, but not sure how far I need to actually take things; it's a great watch with very little that really needs to be done to it (IMHO).
Approved my QC Pics. Now I just need to find a watchmaker wo will change the bezel.... (everyone in my city declined)

xxBlack- The bezel change is an easy one; ~5 minutes to remove the Noob bezel and just a few seconds to press the new one on.
The hardest part is making sure the bezel is aligned at 12:00...
If you were local, I'd just do it for you... No charge.
