Blue Ceramic Bezel for Sub-C
Hey I was wondering if they made different bezels for the 116610 SubC and came across this on ebay. Anyone have any inputs to if this will work?

I'll bet that it would not work very well at all.

Aftermarket and ebay are two things I'd steer clear of when it comes to Rolex and watches in general. I'm curious how ceramic inserts are fitted though....

 .......... You have to "stick it to the bezel to make it work".... Do they give you the glue to do that, or do you have to buy your own..... ??? Oh..... and they missed the middle of the triangle with that lume dot too.. ............

"Since it is ceramic insert you need to stick it to the bezel and will make your watch look like brand new." What!? You mean you can replace your old, worn out, scratched scratch resistant ceramic and make it brand new again!!

I think you will have a very difficult time getting your hands on an authentic ceramic insert/bezel for a "LN" Sub here in the US... Unless you have someone very close with a Rolex parts account but I would still guess it will be a tough sell

Ceramic sticky tape in blue-ish color to ruin your Rolex? What a deal!

^ I guess I misread the Ebay listing. I thought this was a new Bezel insert that replaces your old one. Not a stick on. Man what a joke.

I was thinking the same thing. But why use aftermarket on a genuine Rolex . Try to get the original if you can. The Sub C looks great just the way it is even without a blue bezel.

One to miss, i think,mind you, you can't beat a sticky on bezel insert (due to fall off anytime)!

Legit ones can be found, and I know of a person or two here that acquired them... but DIG DEEP, they DO NOT COME CHEAP! I am after a blue one, but I was SHOCKED at what they are bringing. As for the stick-on ebay ones, I say steer clear!
