How many of ya'll change your Rolex's, ie dials, bands, bezels etc? Or is this something that is "just not done" in the Rolex circles. Edd

Since the options on the GMT are original equipment I love to utilize all of them.

Welcome to TRF, Edd!

There are many members here who for example change the bezel inserts of their GMT II. For instance a "Pepsi" (blue/red) for a "Coke" (black/red) bezel insert to get a different look.

Or some put NATO or leather straps on their Rolex watches.

Others put aftermarket bezels on their watches, or have a dial change made.

It is all a matter of personal preference, and some of the alterations look quite cool.

I say, if it floats your boat there is nothing "wrong" with doing it.

Hi Edd, welcome aboard!

I made one small, easily reversible change to my Rolex.

Thanks for the kind words. It seems that whatever I buy, cars, a watch etc I love to change it just to make my mark on it. My wife has asked me many times why I cannot leave things alone. I cannot answer her. Well I have started the search for one of the new bezels, wish me luck. Edd

So seeing as folks love interchanging their GMT bezels, has Rolex accounted for this in the new GMT IIc, or is the ceramic bezel not easily popped off?
