16710 Bezels & Bracelets - UK
Considering picking up a 16710 and would like the option to switch bezel and bracelet.
Can anyone advise what the current policy is from Rolex given this can change on occasion. Has anyone in the UK been able to purchase a Pepsi/Coke bezel or jubilee bracelet from Rolex recently? If so, how was the process, and any info on pricing? |

Well, I guess everyones definition of recently is different
There have been a policy change from Rolex in late 2023, so they no longer sells the different inserts seperatly. As I understand it, it must now be part of an exchange, so you don't get to keep your old bezel. I don't know if they will allow a change from a Pepsi to a Coke, or if it is only Pepsi for Pepssi (so bascially only of you're bezel is damaged). Last time I asked a couple of months ago, it was still possible to purchase the different bracelets. |

if you go in without a bezel or bracelet, you should be able to purchase what you like as long as it is a part that was offered for the model.

I called St James a few weeks ago for the same thing.
Bezels: they will still sell bezels for the 16710 for around £50, but not loose, it must include fitting which is either £80 or £130, I forget which. Then VAT on top. Bracelets: again, they will sell a jubilee for a 16710, but it must be fitted there. You keep your old oyster. |

If you have a no lugs holes case, make sure you get the 502t endlinks as they have notches to access the spring bars for removal.
