16710 Bezel Rings

[RastabanStar]

I am looking for extra bezel rings for my 16710 so that I can change the bezel without having to pop the insert in and out of the ring. Questions:

1. Can I buy authentic rings anywhere?
2. Will a gold ring from the 16713/16718 fit the 16710?
3. Does anyone have experience with these aftermarket rings? Are they basically identical?

1. They aren't easy to come by, but they are certainly available.

2. Yes, all the GMT 1671x models are physically the same. Earlier plastic crystal model bezels will not fit.

3. Never tried an aftermarket bezel and likely would not. Just having stuff isn't that important.

Also of note: The bezel of the 16760 would physically fit but it is slightly taller than the bezels of the 1671x models.

hi op. if you "lost" your existing bezel you could get it replaced at the rolex service centre.

I've been watching eBay and TRF For Sale Forums. Are there any other sites or forums where they might be available?
