Rolex Explorer 1 bezel change?

[clubted]

Hi, New to the site, looks good. I just purchased a used but hardly 2001 Explorer 1, 36mm, my second Rolex. Has anyone changed the plain bezel to a fluted one? Love the watch, just thought it might jazz it up a bit. Thanks!

Not legal.

Don’t do it. You’ll ruin the watch. If you want a fluted bezel swap the Explorer for a Datejust.

Interesting. I've heard a lot of mods over the last 20 years, but never this one. Maybe photoshop it and see what it looks like first.
