Submariner 16610 dial/bezel insert
Good afternoon,
I have a Stainless Sub 16610 (A serial), that I wear everyday. From being in the sun, the dial and bezel insert need to be replaced as they have faded. Does anybody know what I should pay for an authentic dial and insert? I dont want to go with any aftermarket garbage. Just looking for a ballpark estimate as I couldnt find any info on fleabay. Thanks! Brett |

A bezel insert - $100-150

Show us pics!!! Faded in the Rolex world is often quite appealing and worth more money. Don't swap them out IMHO.

I agree.
Patina'd tritium is much better looking and increases in value. But if on eBay K2Luxury and FirstClassDials are both solid sellers. I've used them many times and they can be trusted. |

An A serial faded? Pics would be good. Isn't that from the late 90's...I have a P serial from 2000/2001 and A came right before the P. I am surprised to hear that a dial <20 years old fading.

yes, they are. But why are you looking for this stuff on the'Net.. They are readily available at Rolex for a fraction of the cost usually..
