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.

Post the pic...yes the watch is meant for everyday use but still seems odd it would be faded.

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..
