Bezel Insert/ Replacement

Hey guys looking to replace my Bezel insert on my Submariner. I have looked online a couple times and I'm not to keen on purchasing a 14 dollar one from ebay. Just wondering if you could provide any information on which site sell legitimate Rolex Bezel Inserts or taking it to the dealership is the best option. Also expected prices to pay for an authentic replacement or Rolex dealership replacement. Thanks. Also has anyone gone with a different color bezel insert with the Black sub, if so feel free to post your pictures.

Thanks,

Chris

You are talking about an aluminum insert and not ceramic right? Your local Rolex AD most likely can take care of this for you, or you can source a genuine Rolex one here in the for sale section on the forum. Keep in mind Rolex will only sell the correct insert which was original to your watch. They don't do modifications.

You can get authentic bezels here on the forum. You can find cheap ones online to play around with. Happy hunting.

Those ebay aftermarket bezels dont even match the original colors. They are cr@p.
Get it from your local dealer, they are not expensive.

You can get any genuine insert from any RSC or via a AD cost wise around $50-$75, except the green LV insert thats now $300.Do not pay the crazy prices than some are asking for them on the net, if near a RSC they will fit it free but might keep your old insert.

You can no longer get the green insert from any AD or official independent,watch must be returned to Rolex and they will only fit green on a genuine 16610LV. This is why now the green insert is $300 mainly down to those changing a normal 16610 black insert to green,and fitting a 16610LV to black insert and now all green inserts Rolex RSC exchange only.
