Looking for 16710 bezel inserts in the US

I have a coke 16710.
Where can I buy the other two bezel inserts?
Any AD willing to do it in San Francisco area, or other state?

Welcome to TRF!

If you should not get them from RSC San Francisco, you should be able to order them from European AD's.

Best of luck!

Bezel inserts

I sold my 16710 over a year ago but I had all three inserts. My AD sold them to me. Their only requirement was they wanted the serial number of the GMT and they had to physically switch the inserts each time I purchased one.

Get if you can because they really add versatility to your GMT.

As long as it's a genuine Rolex insert it should increase the value.

Not unless...

the papers (style number which indicates bezel color - I think red/blue, all black, etc. have different letters in them) do not match the bezel insert color when trying to sell. As long as you have the original color insert, it wouldn't be a problem.

Or keep the papers and deliver the freaking watch like this.

great. can anyone please direct me to a site where i can find out which numbers denote which original bezel came from the factory.

because in s'pore mix and match is as common as mixing milk and coffee for breakfast.

im looking for a 16750 (which i believe is one with no lug holes) and preferred in black, but i can live with another color bezel and change to the one i want.

also how do i change my own bezel insert?
