Black Sub wanting blue bezel

This is my new black sub 116610LN. I traded in my Explorer 11 with black dial since I found it difficult to read with that larger hands. I recently saw a black submariner with a blue bezel. Is one able to switch out the black bezel for a blue bezel. If so, does anyone know who much that would run $$s.

Thanks.

I expect that the blue dial from the WG Sub would be a direct bolt in..

Do you want a dial or a bezel?? They are two distinctly separate components. Regardless, even if you could find the parts, it would be cost-prohibitive. The new models do not lend well to mods as special tools are needed to replace ceramic inserts and replacement parts are rare/expensive. Recommend you trade up for the blue model if that's what you truly want.

What do you want?
A blue bezel (as per title of this topic) or a blue dial (as you mention in the topic)?
Both are fitted to a WG Submariner and will fit your Submariner.
The problem is to find the parts.
