Where to buy a black bezel insert for my LV?
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.

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..
