I never tire of looking at that 116610LN with a 116619 blue bezel insert. That is one awesome and rare piece imo. Wow!

Do you mean the 116610 LN? Or 16610? It should fit on any of the new Ceramic subs but not on the older subs.

Darn it, I feel as sharp as a cue ball right now. Yes, I meant to write/say 16610.

Looks unreal the blue on black...cheers

No the ceramic inserts will not fit the older subs...my pictures to follow hopefully tomorrow of my latest acquisition!!!

DCgator · 16 May 2011, 11:15 PM

New ceramic bezels will fit the new ceramic models. Problem is getting a hold of a green or blue OEM ceramic by itself. I would buy a green or blue OEM ceramic bezel in a heartbeat if available.

Does anyone know where to buy a Bamford in the US? Do they ever come on the secondary market (pre-owned)? I love designing my own dream rolex on their website. I neither know enough about the Bamford watches, nor know of anyone or heard of anyone other than Daniel Craig owning one.

Send me what you want and I can probably make it for you - I also DLC watches now.

You've all seen my custome self-created Daytona - but I still like showing it off.

My next question is, who carries out these mods? Rolex themselves or independant watchmakers...or do some of these owners do it themselves?

For a 16610 you can do it yourself...or an independant watch maker

The watch is an 16610LV?
The blue bezel insert is genuine Rolex or aftermarket one?
