Hi,

I am goign back to Germany soon and will buy a black bezel for my LV

I intend to change it every two weeks or so as a fashion thing and so i wont get bored of either color... i love both green and black.

Anyways, someone on the forum (Dan i think, many Dans here?)
said there was a tutorial on changing the inlay. I couldt find it using the search?
Any forum veteran able to helpme out?

Thanks!

I only have a tutorial on how to exchange the whole bezel, but it is in GERMAN:

Change of the bezel! CLICK!

Thanks!

I tried the tape-knife method and nothing poped off... i didnt do it too hard because i didnt want to damage the watch... any hints?
Also the tape is easily damaged by the knife and scratches are easy to make...

Jocke;

I assume that this same process would be used for a 16750 GMT II?

Thanks,

Larry

freshacejay · 20 October 2007, 06:58 AM

holy moly, i did it.

Nobody told me the insert is so hard to push back in, my fingers HURT! Haha, now im prepared! Once i get my black bezel insert i will change from time to time, but more like once a month or so, dont wanna do that too often.
Thanks guys!

Just use the table trick when you put it back.

It works like a charm.

Besides changing the bezel is there a way to change the color of the face?

My sub is black face/bezel. I'd love it to be blue face w/ blue bezel? Like the gold and silver sub has.
