Sub Anniversary 16610LV Bezel Swap to Black
Just thinking out loud, I like the Maxi Dial, I don't care for green bezel, so if I buy a 16610LV and have the bezel replaced with black, I now have a Submariner Maxi Dial with black bezel with the more traditional case dimension.
Is this a sacrilege ? |

I don't really care for the green bezels, so I would likely change mine if I had one, just to go out in public..

I bought a replacement bezel with black insert for my LV.
I haven't tried it on yet. I did sit it on top for a pix but it wouldn't stay there. I need some doubles sided tape?

I have the 16610LV and purchased the black insert, currently installed. Like them both.

Yeah .... that looks very good, so I'm not alone in my thinking to do this.

This is the most stealthy mod one can have, I thought to keep it secret myself.
When I do mine, I will also change out the date wheel to green.
