I am a recent buyer of a 16610LV and absolutely love it. But may want a little variety down the road not just yet because the newness hasn't wore off. But I was under the impression that I couldn't purchase a black bezel insert directly from Rolex. My AD didn't have a way (so they say) to order one, and I am just curious if there is a reputable place any of you that have purchased one for "your" LV could recommend me to.

Thanks,

Cody

If you can find a watch smith who is authorized to order Rolex parts and you have a serial number to a non LV Sub, you can get the part. With mark up it should be less than $70.00 US.

Some AD's who are Service Center's will get it for you... you just have to try different Service Centers.

Post a "want to buy" ad here on TRF in the sales section. Or, drop a PM to TempoKing here on TRF...he probably has one or two laying around.

Try Steve Mulholland here. He got me a 16613 black insert in just a few days.

This is always tough as, in the USA, they do not sell parts except as direct replacements. and they won't replace the green with a black...

They can be found...but it isn't easy..

What's wrong with Green ;-)

The green makes your sub a little more distinctive looking1

To the OP:

Just pop your green insert out, and take it to your nearest AD and tell them the green insert is lost somehow. They will install one for you in 15 minutes. Ben Bridge did it for me
