Which blue bezel insert for 16610?

On the show us your mods forum there is a cool Sub date with blue bezel. Im keen to purchase one myself and want to know if this bezel on Ebay is suitable or dodgy and cheap and/or is there a particular one to buy? Cheers

I realise its not genuine Rolex but is this the same bezel Sub owners would use to "modify" their watch (like here posted on mod thread) or is there a place to buy a genuine blue bezel insert? Is it wrong to support this seller buy purchasing just an insert? Thanks for any advice in advance...

I thought that there was one reference of the YG Sub (I don't know what serial) that had a silver font on the bezel instead of gold.....am I mistaken??

Your correct, it is a ceramic that will work on a 116610, not a 16610 as referenced by the OP. Ebay makes cheap inserts for the 16610, but not sure about the quality. The ceramic of course will not work on the 16610...
