Hi, I have a Rolex explorer 2 16570 yr 2000

Looking for a black bezel option.

I believe only after market black ones are available or need to be from a GMT or Submariner, with loss off bezel rotation

Does anyone know of a place that could do this?

Preferably in Los Angeles

Thank you in advance

I have nothing to add but this...

There's no OEM black bezel option. You would need to customize it via PVD from a reputed shop.

Thanks!
even that has been difficult to find since it requires painting the numbers white (or SS)

I'll take leads for a good PVD shop

Any leads on a local shop in Los Angeles that can provide and or install a real or aftermarket bezel

curious, did you check with LA watch works? they come highly recommended for any Rolex related work.

update: called everyone I could dig up, and I went fairly deep search: no one can do it

If anyone has a lead on getting my bezel DLC or PVD coated: I'll take that info !
