I bought the 16610 LV for my wife some time back, and was thinking about swapping the insert for the new ceramic one for better resistance to scratches etc. if possible. Has anyone done this / know if it's possible or not, and if so at what cost? Thanks!

it is not possible as the 16610 Bezel is a little diffrent from the 116610 so my

is don't try it

The entire bezel assembly and mounting is completely different between the 16610 and the 116610, as is the machining on the case to accept them...

Oh ... so much for that then ... too bad.

Thanks for the very quick responses.

My wife is deathly afraid of getting the bezel scratched. I keep telling her it's ok, these things are meant to be worn (that's my philosophy anyway), but you know how it is.

Look at the bright side, it will cost you about $100 bucks to get a black insert...and once you have both, you can easily change them back & forth.

That's a great idea, though if I followed through, I think I'll end up taking over that sub!
