Replacing the bezel IWC 5032 PPC

Hi guys,

Hope this is the section to post this question. I've got an IWC Perpetual Calendar Ref 5032 in blue dial/WG. The bezel of the watch is highly polish and because of the height and size of the watch ( and my clumsiness ), inevitable I occassionally came into contact with hard surfaces at confine spaces. The bezel thus have collected quite a number of tiny chips over time after I have owned the watch for more than a year. Most aren't visible when view casually except when I eye-balled the watch but they are there.

I wonder if I can send it to IWC for a replacement bezel and if so, anyone know what is the cost? Or should I just leave it as it is and only do the replacement when I sent in for a full service after 3 more years?

Thanks in advance.

I suspect it can be repaired rather than replaced. IWC can do a laser treatment to fill voids and polish back to original state. There is a video somewhere on the website somewhere covering this.

Correct, there is a remedy to filling in and polishing dents and deep scratches on the case and bezel.

There is a video that Michael (BP4ME) suggested on the service page. About 42 seconds into the video, they demonstrate the laser treatment and filling in a major dent in the case.

Thanks. Any idea what will be the cost to repair the bezel?
