Has anyone had a Submariner 16610V bezel replaced? What did it cost?

Dsmith1974 · 24 January 2020, 09:46 AM

No but I’ll need to at the next service because I dinged it on a door knob.

I think the old one has to go Switzerland HQ before they’ll release a new one and it’ll cost around £400 or £500.

I guess I won't be doing that...

What’s the point in Rolex being silly like that? There are thousands of aftermarket green bezels available that look identical. No one would ever know and anyone who wants to make a black bezel into a franken kermit can. Rolex’s attempt to control this is hopeless and just annoying for genuine owners who want a replacement bezel as the same price as any others cost.

OP buy an aftermarket one and vow never to buy a new Rolex again.

It was around $300 couple of years ago at Beverly RSC

Rolex will no longer just replace the bezel insert I tried with a submariner and was told they will only to a complete service and at that time change the bezel insert quoted $1,100. I sold the watch for twice what I paid and bought a GMT Master ll BLNR which is the watch I really wanted anyway.

I had mine replaced in 2012 and it was $300 at RSC Dallas. I had the bezel replaced on my TT blue Sub at an AD for $75 in 2019.

Kermits of the early series with the "flat 4" bezel insert command higher prices.
If your Kermit has the "flat 4" bezel insert, will RSC replace it with a similar "flat 4" bezel insert?

Replaced bezel on my 16610V last year at Dallas RSC and it was $300.

All 16610LV inserts are now RSC replacement only and now around $300 replacement inserts are mostly flat four but colour of insert slightly different from the ones of 2003/4 time frame,black inserts still around $75..

I think mine was $150...maybe. That was a few years ago. Don't hold me to that...my brain is getting too old.
