It's not a surprise when considered objectively. The parts that differentiate the 16610LV from a 16610LN have been removed and replaced with parts that (while genuine) are incorrect for the watch. Something that cannot be done as an 'authorised' alteration. If Rolex would without question replace these parts this would be an easy method for people to abuse in order to turn one LV and one LN in to two LVs. Rinse and repeat for a money making scam.

If it was just the bezel insert that was missing or incorrect a new one would be issued (although since the insert is a Geneva HQ exchange part if you were to make multiple requests for 'lost inserts' you will quickly find yourself not being supplied the part anymore). But there is no way for the dial to be wrong without something fishy having taken place. Hence; they wont touch it.
