I have a couple of watches on my wish list at the moment but I'm sure there are more rolexs to come ! It is a very sharp looking watch though. Thanks for the welcome. That song pretty much sums it up !

I did contradict myself with that I hope nobody would notice haha ! For a bezel change all you need is a spring bar tool and then something flat and strong to get under the bezel. Its relatively easy, perhaps you should give it a go ! A first rolex is a special rolex no matter your age, congrats ! Thanks everyone

Welcome to the Forum.

Very nice watch.

Do you have the complete bezel replacement or just the insert?

When I was 17 I think I had a watch?

Just the insert. The only thing I need to worry about when changing It is losing the spring.

Congrats on the new watch. I just picked up the 16610LV not too long ago. I was planning to change the bezel to black, but after I started wearing it, I find that the green is really nice to look at. I find myself wearing the watch more and more. I am starting to wear it more than my Panerai. You are lucky to have such a nice watch at an early age. Wear it in good health!

Best,
truth is truth..

Congrats on the LV. I really dig the Maxi dial. Plus with the black insert, you will have two new look. I'm sure you already have the guide for it. It should be easy, so don't sweat it

I wear a lot of different suits which the green looks a bit strange with some. I'm going to stick with the green
majority of the time as it looks that good. You must really like it because I love panerai !

Changing the inserts should be no problem I've looked through some guides and know what I'm doing now. The whole idea of 2 looks was what I was planning it makes it a completely different watch !
