Simple question, can you change the LN face and bezel to a LB? What’s the cost of buying a LB face & Bezel? Thanks

Wont be worth it. Just sell the LN and get the LB

I very much doubt you will be able to get original parts from Rolex.

Third party (aka fakes) are not a topic I know anything about.

Rough cost is $2k + hands + crown + potential breakage during the swap. The budget is about $4k. In my experience the breakage frequency on ceramic inserts is about 2-3% or more of exchanges.

He doesn’t need hands and crown , but still not worth it

Sell the ln and get the lb

It is my opinion that you are going to have a hard time sourcing the parts, but I believe the bezel will be just north of $1500 and the dial will be a click or two over $700. Good luck.

FWIW, my AD has a parts account and an in house tech. I all but prostrated myself on their showroom floor to get them to order me a LV hulk bezel for my 114060. They wouldn’t budge.

Also, I believe the $1500 is for the bezel insert not the entire assembly.
