Where to buy a complete bezel for stainless sub 16610

[Bentleymeadow]

Appreciate any feedback with options to buy a genuine rolex complete bezel setup for a sub 16610? Would prefer not to have to send watch in for a full service at Rolex. Thank you!

The easiest way would be to find a local Rolex certified watchmaker and have them order from RSC and install it for you. Otherwise, I recommend sending it to RSC. They may require a full service as well. I’m a stickler for keeping my watches with OEM parts. Just too many shady dealers out there with fake parts and shoddy workmanship. .

Rolex doesn't have parts-houses where you can go in and buy parts so your options are limited.

. You can scour the Internet and take a chance, and likely pay several times the cost for a bezel and hope it is authentic.

. You can actually do what you don't want to do and possibly end up paying less than buying from an individual and have a serviced and like-new watch.

. You can find an AD with a watchmaker on staff who may be able to order these parts and install them without the full service.

If you opt to buy on the secondary market, the GMT 16710 sapphire bezel is the same bezel as the Sub 16610 bezel - they are interchangeable. To clarify, I am referring to bezels, not bezel inserts which are obviously different between the two watches I mentioned.

This is incorrect, the 16610 bezel is higher/thicker than the 16710.

There’s a guy in name William from Dallas, Texas (Watchpartdoc on IG) that sells many new and used Rolex parts; have dealt with him, nice guy. Have seen him selling the 16610 bezel in the past on the factory plastic container from Rolex, check him out.

Good advice
That’s exactly what i did for my 16710
Local Rolex Boutique have a Rolex trained watchmaker and they ordered me new bezel insert for $64 + tax ( coke)
I had to trade in my old scratched black bezel insert
Buying it online will cost 4-5x more but could be a good option if you want to keep old insert and order a new one

Post in the WTB or check the classifieds. Shouldn't be too hard to source.
