What's a spare bezel cost?
Isn't switching to a black bezel identical to normal Sub?
Thanks

I have quite literally never wanted a watch as badly as I want that. It's perfect in every way including the olive strap. Brilliant!

[QUOTE=Mickey®;2986242]Is anyone going to tell me if theirs is OEM or Aftermarket???!

I can't see any difference you might be mentioning but I will say that mine is definitely 100% Rolex OE.

Best,
Mike

All the watches look great but if I ever buy the LV it will be for the green bezel insert. but of course it's nice to have choices as well!!!

It's a LV with a black bezel and to be honest I don't think I will be putting the green on any time soon.

From now on I will say "I'm wearing my former LV bastardized with a Authentic Rolex Black Bezel" in the WRUW posts! dummy:

I wish I had not sold mine. I am now trying to trade my Sub C for one and then find a Black insert for it again.

I don't understand. Why not just the 16610 instead. Please forgive my ignorance.

Maxi Dial (not on 16610) Maxi Hands (not on 16610), Original case not new 116610C Case (which does have Maxi dial and hands).

A lot different look with this dial on this case...

SOMEONE POST A PICTURE!
