I think it's more a question of "if" not "when". And I think the odds are slim to none.

It's purposely designed not to fit any GMT model other than the white gold one. If you're trying to buy the bezel and put it on a stainless steel model, don't bother.

Really do you have the schematic diagrams showing this to be true or is it a perpetuated myth

Was told by a Rolex rep, who's been with them about 30 years.

So in the absence of real factual evidence like comparison or schematically evidence, other than "somebody's say so" this is not fact then currently!!

With all due respect, are you able to prove them wrong?
If so, please show your work.
Some people here might really like to see if the Ceramic BLRO can be placed on the SS GMT.

Busting into the Hq of Rolex to steal the blueprints is probably a more challenging task than just to save up to buy the real deal. More seriously I think your question "when can I get..." is wrongly put. It should be "where can I get and how much will it cost". Answers are "beats me" and "a lot".

You know, a "shopping" spree on the Forums is usually instantly binned...

However, since it's highly unlikely that you will ever be offered an authentic BLRO GMT bezel or insert, we'll let this one ride..

I am sure that anything can be done. I am not certain if anybody here (or anywhere for that matter) has got a hold of one to modify the SS Bezel (if necessary as you infer) to make it work. Or to just swap the whole bezel out of a WG to a SS???

If we are all such "morons" on here why do you need us to help you find a bezel?

I hope you have enjoyed your short time here as I am sure it will not last long at this pace.

I don't understand why anyone would want to modify their watch to look like a another model, which they know is a fraud.... Maybe it would fit maybe not but if a BLRO bezel did fit a steel 16710 bezel it would be the easiest watch rolex make that could be copied.
