SubC - can black bezel replace green to make reverse classic LV?
Has anyone done this? If so, let's see the pics ...
Also, where could I pick up a black ceramic bezel? What tools are required? Love the way mine looks now, but wondering if I might have this other option? |

I would imagine this is an expensive change with the ceramic bezel and all that.

I would expect that the watches are identical in every aspect, except for color, so a change would be pretty straightforward...
It's likely that the bezel unit would be over a thousand bucks, if you could even source one; so anybody who wanted to try it out would need to get one of each watch....... Then, of course, have the cojones to take both of them apart for the switch..........

Well I do believe it isn't possible, due to the new ball bearing system, parts need to be replaced each time the bezal is removed, therefor only Rolex would be able to do it, and because it's rolex they wouldn't. Unless you could find a watchmaker with a rolex part account that likes Frankened watches I think it's not that possible :P but if anyone is able to do it, would love to see pics :)
