Aftermarket dial and bezel insert. If anything, I think it's priced too high. You can get a newer, all original 16610 for less than the BIN price.

Generally they do not, simply because if you ever want rolex to service your watch they will return it to factory specs. So the added dial and bezel are useless

and do i need to pay extra to restore it to the factory standards?
If so they are really useless and waste of money.
How about the "special" one like the deep blue?
As far as i understood the deep blue is a deep sea with aftermarket parts?

A bluesy that's genuine fetches a bit more...

i bet the movement in that deep blue is genuine its just the dial and the inner dial ring thats aftermarket. i must admit however the watch looks pretty cool, and that takes alot for me to say that because normally i hate aftermarket parts of any kind but thats a watch that i would consider.

yeah that's my concern when he said the aftermarket parts are worthless, there is a tread about this deep blue, http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...=227157&page=2 , so is this a special version authorised by rolex or if i got this DSSD and i send to RSC for service they will tell me to put i back as Rolex Standard?

Thanks
