Cost of a 16710 Pepsi bezel insert at UK RSC was £30 this month. Probably a little more for a 16610 due to the pearl insert.

X2. At least you know you're getting a genuine bezel. Alternatively, keep an eye out under the Accessories section.

I'm not sure from your post if you're looking for a 16610 bezel or bezel insert. You should be able to source the bezel insert fairly easily, but from what I've been told, sourcing a 16610 bezel could be very difficult.

I'm sure more TRF members far more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

Any AD will be able to get you an insert, it's not a big expense. If it's an LV, then you'll have to send it to Rolex themselves

hi everyone. i know this is an old thread, but i was searching the forum for this answer as well. i have a sub LV with a green steel insert, and would like to be able to swap it with a black one every now and then. if i just walked into an AD or RSC, would they sell me one?

This is my understanding, no "customization" allowed by RSC. If you want to change colors keep an eye on the F/S section here.

I was told the LV and black inserts were not interchangeable due to a minute size difference, is this correct?

They are interchangeable, but you need to be outside the USA for Rolex to sell you one directly, in the UK an A.D. will sell you a black insert.
