I lost my Coke bezel of my ZF BB58 GMT. I've tried and placed an order with the factory, but the wait time is infinite, it seems; 3+ months in and still waiting. So I was wondering if the https://steelreef.com/ bezel would fit the rep or not? Has anyone tried it?

Hello everyone! This is my 1st QC for the Rich Sprite. My first Rolex after many Tudors. The first piece was good, but with the canted markers. I thought, if I'm spending that much, why not try my luck with another piece? It seems this one turned out to be good :))

I've analyzed it using the guide; I'd appreciate the experts' review.

I recently adjusted the bracelet links on my watch to fit my wrist. Today, while having lunch with some colleagues, the watch suddenly fell off my wrist. I suspect it was caused by a loose bracelet pin that had been slightly protruding for the past couple of days.

The watch landed face down. In the moment, I quickly picked it up, found the pin, pushed it back in, and put the watch in my pocket without properly inspecting it.

When I got home and took the watch out to secure the pin properly, I was shocked to see that the bezel was missing. That’s when I realized it must have come off when the watch hit the ground.

I immediately drove back to the office (about a 30-minute drive) and searched the area, but had no luck finding it. I also asked several people, including the janitors and security staff, but nobody had seen it.

I know I should have checked the watch more carefully when it fell, and I’m kicking myself for that now. Does anyone know if it’s possible to purchase a replacement bezel from ZF, or if there are any other options for sourcing one?

TL;DR Can I order a new bezel from ZF?
