I have a Submariner 5513 and would like to replace the bezel. Does anyone know where I can obtain an original bezel. I bought my watch in 1967.
Thanks,
John Converse

Rick,
Thanks for your response - I' m looking for the black insert. I am aware of a number of after market inserts, but am a little reluctant to go with them.
John

Hi John & Welcome to TRF

Now when you say "Bezel", do you mean the piece in the first picture I've attached?....

or the black "Insert" with silver minute markers, as seen in the second pic.

I personally only have a proper Tritium "Insert" that presses into that "Bezel", for your Rollie.

Once you clear up this point, you should find help here amongst our esteemed family that is TRF.

So you need an original Vintage Rolex Tritium lg.font Insert, which is in the pic on my wrist above, and in my signature pic below. I sent you a message. Check your box, and have a great day J.C.
