16710 bezel question
I've spotted a 16710 bezel assembly to put on my 16570 and I need to know the exact parts I will need from the retaining ring up.
This assembly has the retaining ring, the click wire, the flat spring and the bezel and insert. Anything missing? |

You'll need a 16710 mid-case since the 16570 case hasn't been milled to accept the clickspring or rotating bezel assembly.
If you want a polar dial GMT, you'll need to start with a 16710 and install the 16570 dial and hands. |

The hole for the click spring is in the retaining ring. Everything is replaced from the mid-case up. This mod has been done before.

Ahh, okay. My mistake. I just found the diagram on the 16710 and it does look like the retaining ring will swap over. Given that, it looks like your grocery list is correct.
