A tool to safely change 16710 bezel?
Hey folks
I've seen some folks use a butter knife to change out the bezel on a 16710, but those tend to leave marks on the lugs. What tools / methods do you guys use? Thanks!

Rolex charges $70 for the insert plus labor.

I use this. I wrap it in electrical tape. And it does the trick well.

I goofed and didn’t answer the OP’s question. As for your question, no. They will only replace the insert and bezel at their facilities. I called several local AD’s and a Rolex RSC to check for my 14060M. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Doesn’t get any better than this. It WILL NOT scratch your watch and it is cheap to buy!

My 16710 came with a coke insert. My AD was kind enough to contact his watchmaker with a Rolex parts account and get me the all black and the pepsi insert for $70 or $80 per insert. I don’t remember exactly. But it was definitely not more than $80 per insert. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A plastic spudger, guitar plectrum or even an old credit card.

OEM bezel inserts can be a bit of a quest. Your best bet is to try various ADs until one will source you one without confiscating your original. |
