I see that some of the Rolex GMTs sold on TRF come with more than one bezel, so just wondering if it is something that an AD typically changes or if peopole do it themselves?

Thanks

Sorry, please let me correct myself ... I was referring to bezel "inserts".

Brave people... I'm still waiting on some but I have ordered from an AD this time and paid upfront (above the odds but I don't care!) I'm going to attempt it myself. I've got my wooden knife and rubber handled pliers ready and everything! Wish me luck :D

Change it yourself,there are a few youtube videos available as well as the tutorial mentioned above.I'ts a real piece of cake,two jewelers wanted $40-$60 dollars to do this 5 minute job.

Just don't loose the spring and be careful to not leave any dents!! That is my only advice. I've done insert swaps myself. Was pretty easy.
