Replacement bezel 14060 (purists do NOT open)
As some of you know, I had an accident last week with my Sub. End result: bezel insert cracked.
I plan on getting a genuine replacement, but in the interim tried this - what does the forum think? (& thanks to Jocke for the tips!)    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like it. variety is the spice of life.
If and when you get tired of this color combination, just change it. |

I'm a purist and I opened it. Aaaaaahhhhhh!
But seriously, it looks fine. I never knew why Rolex didn't offer more bezel inserts over the years

I really didn't think that I'd like it when I read your title Eddie but I think that it looks great!

I think it works, looks fun and will do just fine for a while. As stated above, once in for service, you can make more permanent choices. Until then, enjoy the unique look.

I'm not sure that I like it, but it's not that bad! (I think I must be a purist!)

I like the look! Plus it is not a permanent alteration, so you can buy a ceramic bezel when the time is right. Enjoy the Frankenwatch!

I like it a lot!
Is it aftermarket, or does the LV insert indeed fit the 14060. Pray tell! -GW |
