Bezel On Rolex Seadweller
Discussion
My (uneducated) guess is that some grit has got in under the bezel and needs flushing out. 3-in-1 would just attract more grit so might exacerbate the problem. Given that bezels can be swapped out, it shouldn't be a big job to take it off and clean underneath - one of the resident watch gurus (variomatic or ecain63 come to mind) will have a better idea.

Indeed I was offered 4K cash for mine or 4300 trade in without any effort or prompting. Wouldn't be taking it but that offer of 2 and a half was little more than an attempt at daylight robbery.Motorrad said:

Before haggling!
Suggests trade value here is well under 3,000
I should buy up every Seadweller here and bring to the UK
I thought brand new SD4000s were <5500 GBP from a dealer ?? ( they are here...)

That is an amazingly high trade value ( unless maybe traded against a much higher value item)

Last of the line serials like mine seem to be more popular for some reason.

Going back to topic, i put the watch in the sink for 30mins and gave a good clean with some soap and soft brush and the bezel is fine.

They are asking 5.5-6k ... But actually selling any?!
A lot of their 2nd hand stock seems to be priced at current full retail less a few % .... Surely haggle-able for a lot of brand new stock.

No, they're on sale for that amount, not selling. Very different thing.http://www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk/more_2.htm

2 on tz-uk for under 4k at the moment and not a sniff, they're just not desirable at the moment - the replacement really ticks all the boxes for most people.

well i took the watch back into Mappin&Webb and they offered 2300 against the new SD4000. I think they are taking the piss but i also think that an offer of 4K is a bit high.
How come they dropped £300? 2300 is laughable.Fwiw i took my p serial 16600 to a local jeweller who offered 3300, i put it on Ebay and had an offer of 3500, but not letting it go at that, i'll hang on to it for now.
