Aftermarket 16600 Bezel Insert?

Hi All,

First post here, and I know it's an objectionable one, but nonetheless I'm looking for some help.

Does anyone know where I can get an aftermarket 12 hour (dual time) bezel insert for a 16600? I want to make my watch a two time zone watch as I use this feature much more than I use a countdown.

Not to worry, I'm not performing any permanent mods. I'm looking to put this non-Rolex manufacture insert in an extra bezel I have, so the original will be maintained, just off the watch.

Also, I don't want to buy a GMT Master II and I already have an Explorer II, so no need to make those suggestions.

Thanks in advance for the help!

And isn't it easier to use the Explorer II when necessary and leave the Sea Dweller as it is and not do that shit?

PS. You can always add or subtract to calculate the time. Everything before that possibility

I appreciate the input, but for me it is more about getting the watch I want with the functions I use most often.

Does anyone know of a person or company who makes these or does custom work?

I've never seen a 12 hour bezel insert.

Good luck with it. I've never seen a 12-hour aftermarket Rolex insert (much less for the old SD), but fingers crossed it's out there somewhere.
