Bezel change from green to black on the LV submariner
Thinking about putting a black bezel insert in my LV sub, think i need to spice up mu watch and maybe put a black leather strap on it aswell.....any thoughts/pics of your own watches that you have done similar things too!!!

I did it for about a week...
Looked good felt wrong...but that's just me. Wish Rolex would have rolled this out and left the case/lugs alone but they didn't so...

Easy to do but make sure the Rolex police don't see you change it or they will sent a radio signal to the self destruction chip built into all 16610LV produced from 2005 on.

Very easy to do and great for a change. The maxi dial works so well. I find the green is very mood dependent so the black provides a much easier wear everyday option IMO.
The watch is striking with the green insert, however. Absolutely love this watch and the only submariner I still own.....and I've owned a few :) But not vintage... And that's where I now need to head.....

Sure but why? The green is so much sexier.
Much better with LV and Maxi. Totally kick ass though doing LV with matte.
