Hi,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to replace the ceramic bezel with a steel bezel?

It may be easier to get a 116520 and source a dial from a 116500?

Yes, the bezel from the 116520 will fit a 116500LN. They use the same case.

Sourcing a 116500LN dial is next to impossible. They're exchange-only with Rolex and highly controlled to prevent creating a 116500LN out of a 116520.

Why not simply purchase a 116520? Do you have a 116500LN now?

I would like to know because I much prefer a black ceramic bezel on my Pt Daytona. I've the all blue dial and baguettes. Black is so much better. I know Rolex does it because the brown means Pt but I can't stand the color.

If you do go down this road, be sure to get the ceramic bezel from a 116519LN as the one from the 116500LN won't fit the 116506 case. Hopefully you have the baguette dial since it doesn't have the brown subdials. That with a black bezel would be outstanding.

Unfortunately I don’t have one but was curious if one would fit. It will take 10 years before I’m number one on the waiting list...

Thanks for the info. Yes, baguettes - the brown sub dials just detract from the watch.

Not sure that I would put a steel bezel on a ceramic

Why not just buy one with a steel bezel already?
