Hi Gent’s

I got a question Im looking at buying a GMT 16713 Rootbeer, for a reasonable price, the bezel insert however is faded, and shows damage, and IMHO needs replacement, as well as it needs a good polish, if I would decide to buy this, I would give it a full Rolex service, would they be able to change the Bezel insert for a new one still >? It has never been polished prior, perhaps a daft question however how often are you able to do so >?? Sorry got no pic’s …

Cheers

Rolex will typically have parts up to 25 years. The Rootbeer bezel insert is only about 3 years discontinued from production, so parts should be readily available. The insert will run about $75.00 USD and another $700.00 or so USD for a clean and overhaul. Great watch, post pics when you can.
