Many thanks to Steve Mulholland for going above and beyond. I bought a bezel from Steve and when I received it I had a problem fitting it. It was just a hair smaller than my bezel ring. The bezel was meant for a 16610. I contacted Steve and he suggested I send my bezel ring to him so that he could fit one for me. Well I have taken a quick shot of the result. I cannot stress enough how pleased I am With Steve's service. Thanks Steve!! Amy and I both were shocked to see just how much a bezel change can totally transform a watch's appearance. Sorry about the fuzzy photo but I have been working 60 hour weeks and I am actually too lazy to unzip the bag to take out my good camera.

Looks great, Steve's the best. Now you have the best of both worlds for that watch.

OYSTERMANN · 14 February 2010, 07:27 AM

Looks great, Joshua

sleddog · 14 February 2010, 07:30 AM

Perfect!!

I have thought of doing it to mine also but still loving the green right now...

It does look good though Josh...

PeterT · 14 February 2010, 08:25 AM

I thought the black and green inserts were interchangeable in the 16610 or LV bezel rings???

They are normally. Steve said that occasionally there is a ring that is slightly larger than standard. I thought this really odd. I would have questioned it in depth more and been a little concerned had I not bought it from an AD.

sakuraba · 14 February 2010, 08:49 AM

Your black LV looks great!

Watch looks great mate & you can't beat a bit of honesty eh?!?

WatchTimes · 14 February 2010, 10:42 AM

Looks GREAT!!

Steve and a couple other guys here in the sellers section
are true class acts!

I doubt youd find an AD as helpful as Steve, TempoKing, or DavidSW to name a few of the good guys here.

Atomant · 14 February 2010, 10:52 AM

That's my favourite LV look!!!

Marco-16610 · 14 February 2010, 10:56 AM

A black bezel looks always great

outtatime · 14 February 2010, 11:44 AM

Hmm...now you've got me worried. I recently bought an LV from someone on the forums here that included an additional black bezel insert. I hope I didn't get a bum one too (or course, I'm too nervous to change it myself and I don't trust any watchmakers in my area to not completely destroy my watch in the process).

MikeyTX · 14 February 2010, 11:53 AM

Wonder if Josh realizes that with the pearl at 6:00, gravity will make his wrist droop.

Dan Pierce · 14 February 2010, 12:06 PM

Great idea, Josh.

Nice to have those options when you feel like something a little different.

And Steve is great to work with.

Yes, I know..............but I still can't figure out how you've taken that picture to make the watch dial look so damned cockeyed!!

Volant997 · 14 February 2010, 11:43 PM

AWESOME watch, Josh.

meloncap78 · 15 February 2010, 01:29 AM

Thanks everyone. It is almost the same as getting a new Sub IMO. I keep looking down at my wrist thinking how much more the LV "pops" out at me with a black insert. simple cosmetic changes are amazing.

SSD · 15 February 2010, 01:31 AM

One of the few mods for which I have always approved. The black looks great with the maxi-dial IMHO!
