116610lv with black bezel?

Just wondering if anyone has thought of replacing the green bezel of the 116610lv with the black bezel of the 116610ln. I don't do photo shop but if anyone can I think it would look nice. Wondering because I like the green dial but not to keen on the color of the green bezel. Your thoughts?

Eh. I love my Hulk, the Bezel is definitely part of the allure. I agree that I may not look best, especially in poorly staged photos, but in RL is is truly mesmerizing

I'd rather change the dial to black or put the green bezel on a 116610LN personally.

Yeah...when the LVc premiered a few years back, there was a lot of discussion about this and several threads...you might be able to search them out. That talk has kind of petered out lately, it seems.

I seem to recall a member who either suggested or actually bought two watches, a LV and an LV and swapped bezels on them. Which could be kinda cool.

Me...I'm good with the way it is.

Green dial, black bezel combo looks amaizing.

I don't like the look - but each to his own.

I thought the look could be cool and then I found that exact picture online and I decieded I didn't like it. The Hulk is awesome because of the green on green. Take that away and it just does not work right.

I think the bezels are still hard to source so only if you have both would you do a swap, hence not many pics.

Thanks for finding that

I like the black bezel. But now that I see it I guess I would keep the hulk original.

This would be a no for me. Hulk should be left alone.

Yep the ones I've seen have been dial swaps as that apppears to be the easily method.

Or an option I looked into with another similar mod was to buy a watch remove said part I required then send it in to Rolex and pay X amount to have it repaired so to speak, bit of a work around but only option in some cases due to Rolex strict part supply.
