Hey guys i have tried to buy spares from Rolex Service Centre and the AD in my local city but no one will sell parts so how are there parts for sale on ebay.
How do the guys with the LV subs buy black bezels?
I have a mongrel datejust that i just want to buy some new gen springbars for and i'd love some different coloured bezels for the sub. But how can i do it.
I am nervous about buying fakes from ebay?
Thanks

Try the UK. I thought only Rolex USA were strict about these things.

Or...post an ad in the want to buy section. You may pay more, but might have luck.

Agree, I would never buy (watch stuff) at eBay.

Otto Frei - Jules Borel Inc. (ofri.com ) list genuine Rolex parts. I have purchased Omega parts from them, but not Rolex.

MY Ad is going to sell me a black bezel for my Sub Lv when it comes in. This part is probably just considered different in the way it is handled. I would imagine Pepsi and Coke inserts where handled the same way when they where made for the GMT.

Probably considered a part which Rolex would sell to customers, a valid option if you may.

I was almost thinking of asking a mate with a sub collection if i could have his bezels when his watches go in for service.
I have heard that they will allow you to keep a bezel when it is changed from service. As it does not have the rolex logo anywhere on it.

You may have difficulty with the inserts, but any AD should sell you the proper spring-bars..

Bezel inserts are almost always a swap, in the US at least. Rolex USA does not want to help people feed eBay with extra parts. The US seems to be alone in this as most other countries forbid Rolex from these types of practices - UK, Canada etc.
