How much does it cost for a green bezel insert these days?

Genuine green LV inserts are now through RSC only, and for genuine 16610LV watches only, cost quite expensive for a aluminium insert they were around $300 but might have changed now.

Looks great. I’m a fan of different bracelet/straps to change a look. The green give a great vibe.

That's correct, the usual route is via RSC - they will only do it for 16610LV models only. They used to allow you back in the days to get the green one via AD, no longer an option.

That said, you can always source one via Chrono24, Ebay or even some vintage watch dealers... The only difference is that you will be paying a premium for the green bezel... roughly twice (if not more) the amount Rolex charges.

***If you go this route, make sure you know what you are buying since there are lot's of fake after-market bezels out there... ***

Ummm, kinda this. I think the maxi dial is a little out of proportion to the case. At least in person. Photographs well though. I do like the larger hands.

It's been almost a year now and I haven't switched my bezel back to LN.

There's nothing wrong with adding a splash of colour

Happy Holidays TRF

I couldn't do it, but it does look pretty good. Only 0.0000217% of the population would notice the mini hour markers.

Can you expand on what you mean please?

Thanks

Looks great, love the pop of green, and I especially like pre ceramic bezels! I'm in the "do what you like with the watch" camp, I'm not a purist and no one (outside of TRF) would care if it's a "real" LV or not.

The last few months, I've been looking at ways to add a pop of color to my Sub.. I tried different straps using all kinds of color combinations and still didn't achieve what I desired...

I looked at the Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 and how people were swapping out bezels in order to achieve a different look... and asked myself what about the Sub? Can't we do the same thing? and it turns out the answer is yes...

So I sourced a Rolex Submariner green insert (the one used in the 16610LV) and got my watchmaker to swap out the original black one.

Now that's a pop of color

Anybody else did this with their Subs?

Looks great

Often have a faded (to silver markers) blue 16613 in my 16610! Changes things up!

That’s awesome, would love to see a pic!!

the watch looks great and it is a great shot. I think it is a good idea to customize your watch as you see fit.

I cant say I dont like the way it looks (because I do.). Love the green bezel.

I’m not sure if I could do it myself. I had considered it at one point but I chose to wait for the LV MK2 instead.

Maybe it would be cool if there was a color that Rolex doesnt offer, so it would look like a customized sub.

I've never had the desire to change an original Rolex to something else, I support your right to do so.
