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. Last edited by DaveJV; 17 January 2016 at 08:55 AM.. Reason: ment bezel not dial |

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.

I've seen blue dial and bezel's together for sale, price was well over $1K I think.
