where to get bezel? and repair

i have the 16610lv and i love the green bezel, however, the black is a classic and would like to change it once a while.

does anyone know where to get a black bezel?

also, my father needs to repair his datajust, a scratch on the face of the glass, he is leaving US in a month, what is the fastest way to have it fixed. we live in new york city....

thanks in advance....

New York City is the headquarters of Rolex USA, so there is a Rolex Factory Center right there..

However, I would go to an Authorized Dealer who has a watchmaker on staff and have the crystal replaced...About 150/200 bucks..

Of course, if it's an old one with a plastic crystal it can be polished out..

The RSC would probably insist on a complete service (500 bucks and a couple of weeks) before replacing the crystal..

Follow Larry's advice in regards to fixing/replacing the crystal on your Dad's DJ. Where is your father traveling to? Many AD's outside the US will sell you a black bezel insert for your LV. Sadly the US AD's are not so helpful.

You have the Rolex Building on 5th Ave bett. 52nd and 53rd , or you could go around the corner to Tourneau on Madison . ( Or any Tourneau , but I like the service dept. there ) .

Lots of options !
