Naked Pepsi GMT! Bezel, spring, insert replacement cost?

My brother's GMT lost it's bezel, insert, and possibly spring. Anyone know the replacement cost for these items?



It was a Pepsi GMT.

Thanks!

I don't know how relevant this is but I just replaced my bezel on my 16610 LV Green Sub at the RSC and it was 142 bucks. Hope that helps. If you buy one on here I bet you are looking at minimum 400 bucks just for the bezel if you can source one.

Less $ to go to HK RSC and have them replace for you.

RSC HK will be your cheapest and best option.

The whole bezel assembly i'm assuming? not just the insert? that's one hell of a deal if so.

I purchased a set at the RSC here in Dallas two years ago and it was $170 with tax - bezel, insert and flat spring. It was for a GMT 1675.

Just paid around S$400 (=280 USD) for the whole bezel assembly (3 rings, spring, and insert) at Singapore RSC. Insert only was about S$70 (=50 USD). And people still say RSC is expensive! :)

those deals probably were part of a broader service, i.e., spent more money altogether

To add to the topic, I recently got a Tudor Sub circa 1998 that came without bezel insert and called Dallas RSC and the bezel is dirt cheap $48 but they will only do it with a full service so that's a $500 bill...Not cool at all!!! hope my local watchmaker, who has a Rolex account can obtain and install it, will report back...

PS: the lady told me that the rolex non-ceramic bezel are just $51

She quoted you the bezel insert, not the bezel (steel part). Dallas only replaces hard parts if you send in or drop it off. last I heard they were less than $300. for bezel itself. Springer can tell you more accurately as he lives close. m

Yes, all I want to have installed is the bezel insert, which is cheap (labor should not a lot either), but she said they will only do it in conjunction with a full service (which I don't need) so honestly is like going to buy tires but the shop tells you it is only possible if you do a full engine overhaul...

That's a good analogy, and a reason why the secondary market for used parts exists.

If you post up a WTB ad, you might find someone who has one.
