Sourcing a 116610 LVC Bezel and face.
I already have a Sub C in black and I may be able to get a really good deal on another one. I was thinking, how much would it be to get a LVC bezel and face, and how hard would it be to source them. I was thinking about swapping the black parts for the green if not overly cost prohibitive.

Why not just buy an LV-C since you already have the LN?

That would have to be "hot" cheap to make this a good deal. I would guess $2-3K for bezel and dial plus labor. Having seen a LV here for around $8K, I think it is a bad idea. Plus, Rolex won't look at since it has been modified from its original LN state. Save the hassle, buy the LN, flip for profit and then buy yourself the LV.

What Padi said. I can't see the point or the lucrativeness in mixing parts.
Trading you LN for an LV is going to set you back much less than the price for the LV dial and bezel. And even then you would not have an LV.
