bezel changed on sub two tone?

[Rashid.bk]

Surprisingly this has only been seen on tt models. The LN would likely look better and go more with a "military" Sub look than a tt.

They should give this to the 114060 without a doubt.

Here we go again...For me it is a fake insert until I see proof otherwise. It isn't on Rolex website. I have not seen one for sale. My AD has not heard of it. Sorry but once I see real proof then I will believe it until then no chance.

PS. Don't like it at all and much prefer the real and only one.

[dysondiver]

stunning mil sub pic ,,,,
always struck me as odd that the numbers dont go the other way round for countdown ,, but thats just me i guess ,,tend to think its an aftermarket [fake] bezel , but i do like the look.

[Baselman]

It's FAKE already discussed it keeps coming back up annoyingly although I'd love it to be true in ss subc as I'd buy it

[powerfunk]

I'm not convinced it's a fake. Could be.

Frankly, this is exactly the sort of change that I would expect to read about on watch forums before AD's realized it or Rolex announced it. Remember the return of the sunburst blue?

So with all the worldwide forums we have seen only 3 or 4 threads in total showing one TT Sub all with black bezel insert. If it were real I think there would be more than a few threads floating around. To me it is a fake until I see proof...Once I see proof and confirmation I will be on board.

Can't argue with that.

I just don't expect much from Rolex's official channels when it comes to tweaks like this.

I don't either but if it were true surely with the internet and all of the worldwide forums out there we would see more than 3 or 4 examples with 3 of them showing the same exact photo's from a Singapore Forum.

I guess this piece wouldn't really be used as a tool watch anyway.

Strange design decision for sure.

The 15 minutes have nothing to do with with the air tank, its used to time a safely stop at around 5m before returning to surface after the deeper dive.And say a 200bar air tank would give the average diver around a hour bottom time at 15m,now take the same air tank now dive down to say 45m then bottom time would be max 5 minutes before returning to safety stop, and return to surface without any decompression.Now again its possible that Rolex have started to use a new font on the newer inserts but myself not totally convinced.

[travisb]

I'm not convinced either. Plus, I don't like it at all.
If it were true, I hope they wouldn't put it on all Subs in the future because I much prefer the cleaner look of the current Sub bezels.

[Rogdogg]

Is it just my eyes/optical illusion or does the '0' on the 40 minute marker look a little crooked compared to all of the other numbers on the bezel?

I'd like it better if the dots between the numbers were uniform throughout. If they are going to leave the tick marks larger from 0-10 then I'd prefer leaving it like it is with no other dots.

[gwozhog]

Okay once again my test for authenticity needs to be performed. To the Op, take off your watch and throw it against the wall as hard as you can. If its survives it is Rolex! If it blows up in a million pieces then it is Folex. Personally my sub survived a high speed motorcycle crash with just a small scratch on the ceramic so i new mine was real. Hope this helps.

"Singapore Special Bezel" ~ fake IMHO.

[Mystro]

In the world of Rolex Submariner, that is a huge change. They would have announced it officially.

[AK797]

A fake would try to copy the insert perfectly not make a pure fantasy so Im not sure this is a fake. And if it is real then Im sure most will get used to it after a while, not a big deal to me.

[Mr. K]

Thought it screamed fake, but a VERY reputable member on TZ confirmed it to be legit. That being said, my vote for now is legit!

Just can't figure out if I like the look or not. Who am I kidding, if I get a TT Suc C, I'd be stoked with either.

And how would any member on any forum know? Rolex certainly doesn't communicate with the public. If it was real where are the examples of them? Again so far 3 threads showing the Singapore Forum shots. Surely there would be many more floating around. Unless one thinks that only 2 people happened to get one out of all the many thousands produced. I say it is fake and I am a VERY respected TRF member.

Again will believe it when Rolex confirms it and that will happen when we see proof. The proof will be in the watches and if real they will really start showing up.

The 6 marker on the dial is way too wide and thick compared to the 9 marker, they should be the same size. The dial seems off

[landroverking]

Yeah Rolex now getting their bezels from Invicta.

[Mr. K]

Guess time will tell, will have to wait to see what the final outcome is.

Maybe this is Rolex's way of keeping us all guessing?

[michel33]

As far as I understand, the OP's brother bought the watch in Texas from an official Rolex AD, not in Hong-kong, right???

So how come it could be a fake bezel unless the OP is lying to us (and I can see no reason why…)?

Anyway, I would love to see the SS Sub fitted with this insert, I like it a lot.
The insert is not "busy" enough on the Sub C, the numbers are undersized and it does not match to the Maxi markers imho, and this is why I prefer the GMT II C bezel with its fat numbers.

I must have missed it, where does the OP state that his brother bought from an AD? That showcase may have been in a pawn shop!.
