I was just curious, if at all possible, to change out the bezel on my ND?
I realize this may be blasphemous. I was thinking red, if they make it. Just something to add a bit of uniqueness.

Thank you all for the congratulations earlier, it's much appreciated! And I've gotta say I'm enjoying it ALOT!

Cheers.

You could get a replacement black, there is no red like Tudor so enjoy your new cool watch congrats again

Only a black insert is available for the non date sub no other Rolex insert will fit as its a size is unique to that model 36.55mm 29.7mm and no other model uses that size.

Ah I see, well that's a shame. Oh well, still a gorgeous watch, and I haven't seen many around my town. Thank you for the information, it's much appreciated!

If you want to add a bit of color, your best bet is to get a 16610LV. That way you have a green insert and it is fairly easy to acquire a black insert. You can also look for a 16613 insert from an early model that has faded and then you also have a blue insert. The 16610 has interchangeable inserts with the other sub dates of this era. Here is my 16610 with a matte 16800 dial and a 16613 bezel insert. It also has a Daytona crystal. Cobbled together, yes.......but all authentic Rolex and I LOVE IT.

the 16610lv is ideal if you want to mix and match.

mikkolopez · 31 January 2014, 12:59 AM

Think Black Bay, all original with red bezel.

AK797 · 31 January 2014, 01:26 AM

LV green bezel.

Yes, I've got the bracelet, original dial, and black faded insert all available to reinstall if I someday choose to do so

A couple more. This is before I had the gold surround on the bezel pearl changed and also had the original crystal still on it. BTW, I still have the original crystal if I choose to change that back as well
