GMT Bezel

I've been searching on the net but not having much luck..where can I purchase extra bezels for the 16710 GMT II? Are there any sites that carry extra bezels, either genuine (preferrably) or replacement? How about at my local AD?

www.classicwatchparts.com has some AFTERMARKET bezel inserts.

Sometimes you can also find genuine inserts on eBay.

Otherwise they are hard to get, especially in the USA.

Rolex USA TIGHTLY controlls parts. Normally there done on an exchange basis. Sometimes genuine ones show up on various sales corners. Might try a WTB on TZ and other sites.

Next time you are in the UK, just pop in to the RSC in London, pay your £22.50 and you will have a sparkly new fitted bezel insert, and your old one to keep

Unlike dial exchanges, you can get a bezel insert just about in any AD in the USA and the price is cheap enough to stay away from the fakes in the aftermarket.

I bought 2 from my AD. Cost $160 each.

Ouch. With exchange, RSC charged me $51. But I guess if there isn't any other way.

Ah! Quite correct Wolfgang, I was thinking RSC service.

It sucked but now I have all three bezels for my 16710. Later on in the out years, they should be worth more. Until then, I'll enjoy them.

Sounds great, plus you have your old one!

Why are the bezels not regulated as tightly as other parts?
