..On to the 16710...
This really is a sickness. Just bought my first one and already thinking about the next - a GMT II 16710. At first I was concerned about bezels fading/scratching, but I quickly realized you can buy all the new ones you need here - this also means you can swap out Coke, Pepsi and Black bezels for three watches in one!
Question - how difficult is it to swap bezels; is it a DIY task or one best left to a jeweler? Also - will switching bezels over time, lead to bezels not fitting properly? |

Ignore the case holder if you want...
What is easier than a plastic tool/thingy to pop off the bezel? Jocke has a tutorial out there I think...also I am sure there is one on the YouTube... |

You might need a Rolex knife to do it.
