Rolex 16570 E2 swapping bezel of 16710 GMT?

Hi all
Just wondering, is it possible to swap the rotating bezel of Rolex 16710 GMT to 16570 Explorer 2? Want to mod my 16570 E2 to GMT

Thanks

I don’t know the answer to this question but I have a feeling that this question will not go over well here on the forum.
Good luck

Yep, someone here did it and everyone loved it as I recall. It was a pepsi bezel on a polar 16570. Looked really good.

I don't think its possible to swap the bezel between the GMT and EXP2 models.

Should be doable. I recall a thread floating around somewhat recently where a 1675 was converted into a 1655. I can’t imagine it would be too different.

Am mod friendly so would do that in a heartbeat!

Wonder if the bezel rotates or it is fixed though

It does still rotate, if I remember rightly.
