Looks so different without the ceramic, looks like an Exp/Sub franken.

Well you learn something every day...nicely done.

Wow, took two things out of this. 1: can't believe you did it yourself, and it worked.
2: the sub isn't too pretty without the bezel. Just a huge chunk of steel.

Job well done...glad to see other DIYers out there! With the right tools, research, and patience...this seems to be a relatively simple task.

People thought I was crazy when I removed one of my permanent links myself...

This made me do a double-take when I realized it was a 116610, and not a 16610. That's a gutsy move! Now I guess people aren't crazy when they talk about swapping bezels from one to another!

Just FYI.

Seriously?

No personal experience but I remember reading that the washer would be damaged if put back without a rolex tool to do the job.

You would be the first to know if the bezel didn't rotate as expected. This clearly shows the possibility of swapping bezels.
