1970s Tudor Snowflake Bezel Help

Hi Guys - long time reader and stalker, just not a poster.

Bought a 94110 in auction a few years back. It has new hands, and a new bezel. Was able to find some replacement hands that better match the dial patina and am now looking for a replacement bezel.

What Rolex Sub models' bezels would work. Could I use a 16800 16610?

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the forum!

No you can not use a bezel/insert from a 16610 or 16800. You can use bezel/insert's from Rolex 5513, 5512 and 1680.

Good luck in the search it gets pricey when you go to buy vintage bezel/inserts.

And the 1680 also fits... (corrected your 16610 above, Heritage)

What do you have on it now? I bought new bezel for a 7021/0 sub from my Rolex dealer for about $250. But it was obviously new

Harry - bezel? Or insert?

I went to my local AD with a 7021 that has no bezel or insert. They ordered me a new Rolex bezel Insert and washer for about cad$390. I wanted to locate an older legit aged insert but I sold her before I found a decent one. If you think your bezel assembly is aftermarket you could try a similar purchase from your local AD.
