Dear All,

I have come to this forum seeking for help. I own a Submariner (116610LN) ,the pearl on the ceramic bezel has fallen as well as its support. Went to the rolex agency in Panama and they wanted to change the entire ceramic bezel for $500.00 Anyone out there knows where I can find a new one and replace it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Saludos,

Prikilin

find another AD, it can be done without a new bezel: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=376765

^ what he said

Al1969 · 17 December 2016, 06:35 AM

How old is the watch?

aced75 · 17 December 2016, 07:11 AM

That shouldnt be difficult +1 for going to another AD

tomallen · 17 December 2016, 07:12 AM

I lost the pearl on my hulk and RSC NY replaced the whole insert. Something about the ceramic cracking when they press in a replacement pearl.

For starters it's not a real SubC..

How did you identify that?

The bezel and endlinks.. Look at the 5 in 50 and the 2 in 20. All the bezel markers are wonky and the wrong colour. Could be the pic but I doubt it. The quality just isn't there.

I thought so as well when I looked at it earlier today. Didn't want to call hum out based on terrible pics.

japenney · 17 December 2016, 10:55 AM

Funny that he brought it to RSC and they couldn't tell it was a fake.

ilovewatchestoo · 17 December 2016, 04:10 PM

The trip to the RSC is similar to the watch, fake.

Ditto.

SubMarine · 17 December 2016, 08:28 AM

Looks real to me. I see the engraved rehaut, as well.

You don't see the round inner part of the 5 in 50? The missing corner of the 2 in 20? General wonkiness. Looks fake as hell to me.

All the SubC owners on here and it takes me to spot that?

treblarefils · 17 December 2016, 09:14 AM

Looks just fine to me minus the pearl that is. Never claimed to be a professional though. Poor pic is poor.

slimeyboy · 17 December 2016, 09:24 AM

It does look a little odd. The upper crown guard looks bent too. Could just be battered to hell though.

ny_yeti · 17 December 2016, 09:37 AM

Had mine replaced just a few months ago through Rolex. $200.00 for shipping (send from AD), $200.00 for new pearl insert. yay....

keschete · 17 December 2016, 10:55 AM

He's right. The numbers aren't right and the crown guard is too short.

Meme-Dweller · 17 December 2016, 11:15 AM

I judge the authenticity of watches based on how blurry the pictures are. Not looking good here.

Meme-Dweller · 17 December 2016, 04:19 PM

Hey OP, do you have the warranty card?

BaselTom · 17 December 2016, 11:55 PM

Proportions looks correct however I see subtle alignment differences in the lettering of the four lines, but that could be related to production series. This will be interesting to follow. Also, I wonder if all fakes have the same serial number!

Sublover2166 · 18 December 2016, 12:38 AM

The pics are not good, so not sure either way about authenticity.

Iloreyix · 18 December 2016, 01:04 AM

Where's the OP?
Would be interesting to see some better pictures?

Librarywilliam · 18 December 2016, 01:38 AM

Looks like bad news all the way around.
So sorry to see someone hear this

Valkyrie · 18 December 2016, 03:05 AM

I continue to be amazed by the number of people who are quick to declare a watch a fake based on a couple blurry photos. Is this watch a fake? Who knows, but I can say there is nothing in these two photos that tells me this watch is a fake. My Sub C, which was purchased from an AD and is definitely not a fake, looks just like the one pictured excepting the pearl of course. Let's give the OP a break; he has no reason to post pictures of a fake watch and lie about taking it to his AD to ask about replacing a pearl.

We've seen it before thousands of times. Someone posts once never to return whilst they guage the feedback. Blurry pic and blurrier all important closeup. From what is visible that certainly doesn't look like anything to come out of the Rolex factory. I would give the benefit of the doubt, camera distortion etc but everything else considered here..

R@lex · 18 December 2016, 04:09 AM

OP is gone, so the watch is fake!!!

LuminousMaximus · 18 December 2016, 04:39 AM
