Aftermarket SD aluminium bezel insert 40mm

Has anyone got experience with these re quality etc?

I’m thinking of a how a coloured one would look for a bit of a change

I did that once. It was fine, but I fairly quickly went back to OEM. I tried it as Everest had made a trial run of 10 blue straps for the 16600, and I grabbed one. I bought blue, red, orange and white. Sold the orange and white, still have the blue and red (never opened it).

The watch will look fake if you try to customize it with bezel IMO!

Looks good for a bit of a change up. Thanks, good to see. I thought the Kermit green could look nice

Not something I would ever do. If the watch never came that way, you will cheapen it’s appearance.

I will say this once and once only the Rolex forum is not the forum for discussions about aftermarket fake parts.
