Hi All,

I tried to get an LN insert for a 16610 LV yesterday at my local RSC (St James, UK) but they declined and would only offer to replace an LV insert with another LV.

Would that be same at all RSCs? I heard a genuine bezel was only £55 but they seem to be going for closer to £200 on eBay (and no guarantee of being original).

Tried the classifieds here too but most are USA.

Thanks,
Duncan

Rolex will generally only allow you to replace parts with those that would have been original to the model in question.

If you want a black insert, you’ll have to go a different route than Rolex direct.... or find a friend with a non LV 16610 to get the part for you

One of the main reasons today for the green insert now replacement by RSC only, and costing now around £250. Is down to those wanting to change from green to black insert and visa versa.Rolex will only supply inserts the same colour that are original to any 16610LV.

Yeah the guys there tell you in the most polite way when they want to let you down gently! I like them though.

It should be easy enough to get it shipped from the USA.

There are some on chrono 24 as well.

Though a bit underhanded ...

Why don’t you get the LV insert then offer it in an ad for a swap to a LN insert? Am sure someone out there wants an LV bezel option for their LN.
