Would it be possible to swap the steel crown out for a Rosegold one or is this logistically impossible.

Thanks

It can be done Larry, you just need the Sub/GMTIIc trip lock gold crown. Hard to source, but they do pop up.....

I had it installed on my YM two tone. Not really sure why Rolex doesn't do it factory, as it's the only two tone model that doesn't have a gold winding crown?!

My interest is in the 2016 rise gold to with the chocolate face.

I assume the part for the full rose gold and black bezel reference would work....but how to access.

The steel crown looks out of place.

Essentially, the same thing, just rose gold instead of gold...
It can be done, but you'd need the triplock crown from a rose gold model, like the 116655 instead...

It does stand out being SS as you said, and that's why I changed mine...
Finding one is the hard part!

Great looking Rob

I agree it should come that way out of the box
