Stopped in at my neighborhood watchmaker to try this out. It went on fine... giving the Anniversary Sub a different look.

I know it's not Rolex approved, but it's definitely my watch.

Very nice.....gotta love that dial

tonelar · 11 February 2007, 12:35 PM

Thanks Lucas.

It's a pity that Rolex won't do a bezel change for people on this watch... it could rival the SS GMTs for their versatility. Is there such a thing as a Pepsi bezel for the Submariners?

Here's a before and after shot...

viper · 11 February 2007, 01:59 PM

looks great! did u have to change the bezel or just the insert?

btw, i'll send u pics of the jub band, sorry, been busy!

tonelar · 11 February 2007, 02:05 PM

No worries... it's the same bezel, just swapped out the insert for now.

I saw a green one in his catalog for the GMT... that'd be weird huh? I asked him to order one up for me as well.

leopardprey · 11 February 2007, 02:05 PM

Very nice! Think I will be doing the same shortly!

leopardprey · 11 February 2007, 02:06 PM

I am thinking about switching the Black Bezel of my Sub ND, with the Sub LV!

That would be different. A Sub ND with Green Bezel and the LV with the Black!

I kinda felt like it was odd of Rolex to celebrate their 50th on the Subdate... I mean, isn't the 14060M closer to the original submariners? Those pioneering models were non-date watches after all.

I like the idea alot actually, Chad.

How much did it cost for a black bezel? Can any AD get access to one? Its looking good

Fiwi · 11 February 2007, 11:44 PM

Looks great!

mike · 11 February 2007, 11:46 PM

Looks good Tony.

I think a Sub with a green bezel AND a green dial would look great.

You need to rephrase that question, tosser: What would be right with that?

I'm sorry if my opinion upset you

What time is it there? I can't remember if you are 16 or 18 hours ahead of my time zone.

No, Andrew, your opinion hasn't upset me at all....just surprised me as I tried to make a mental picture in my mind on how so much GREEN would look on a Rolex!!

It's just after 7:30 am here Monday morning.

mike · 12 February 2007, 04:35 AM

Well, I think a blue dial and bezel would be sweet.

If they did it up as in the same type of dial as the TT Blu I'd bet it'd be really vibrant... I'd probably rather it wasn't a TT watch for some reason... However dark green and gold do go together quite well.

I think it'd be available from any AD, however getting them to change your LV out might be a problem as it's not a Rolex approved modification. This insert is an AM item about $20-$25. I didn't want to buy a Genuine Rolex (around $60-$70) bezel insert only to find out that I don't like it on my watch after all.

I bought an aftermarket black insert for my GMT for 14.00 on eBay. I'm glad I did because I found out I like the pepsi look better and didn't have to spend $60-70 to find out.

I've seen those Ebay inserts before and often wondered how they look in person. Did it fit just like the original, Ginzo?

No it did not. It was a wee bit too big. A fine file and some pliers masked off with tape got it to fit. It was good to see if I liked the look. If I had I would have got a real insert for what ever the price (within reason).

ginzo · 12 February 2007, 10:14 AM

BTW it looked good as far as the paint and numbers it just didn't fit well,

nko51 · 12 February 2007, 10:20 AM

Looks very Bold and nice.
