Change sub bezel at RSC?
Could you buy a black ceramic sub with date, and have the bezel switched at RSC?
Seems not much difference between the two other than the bezel? I know they allow dial swaps, but the other seems plausible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A black LN sub can only be swapped for a Black bezel.
If your asking whether RSC will change it to a green or blue bezel the answer is a big fat NO. |

As Henry Ford once said, you can have any color you want, as long as it's black.

Your point is logical. Why do they allow dial color changes and not bezels? Well, I can’t see any reason why say a black bezel sub couldn’t be changed to green, other than the reference number of the watch is entirely different. I think that Rolex refuses when the entire reference number would be different after the change. As far as I know (could be wrong?) the dial color isn’t referenced on serial numbers of most mainstream production watches.

Rolex references all details by the serial number.
