Hello Friends,

I just switched over my green bezel to the "Rolex restricted on the LV Sub" black bezel. Yes this is nothing new as many before have done this. I am excited as I have a maxi dial and being able to switch bezels is like giving a $6,000 check to yourself. Only need to buy one watch not two.

Forgive the so-so photos. It is a point and shoot (Cannon Power Shot SD400) cheep but works ok.

What's your view? Do you like it, Hate it? Could care less?

I would not do that to my LV but don't fault those that do. It's nice to have a change, gald your enjoying it.

SLS · 5 August 2009, 09:34 AM

Looks great! That is the only way that I would wear an LV. Just think, if you get an old style GMT II 16710, you can have 6 different watches in one!

I think this is the nicest version of the modern Sub/Seadweller.
I made the same modification to my own LV and I really like it.

SWFLA1 · 5 August 2009, 10:28 AM

I'm currently looking to purchase an LV and black bezel for that very reason - it looks great

Carlos · 5 August 2009, 10:31 AM

Looks Great!

Welshwatchman · 5 August 2009, 10:42 AM

I'd never do that to mine.

TimeOnHand · 5 August 2009, 11:21 AM

I love the Green Bezel... however the Black is a classic... so what every works for you.

rmcarlton · 5 August 2009, 11:30 AM

I've often thought about doing that. Looks great!

mike · 5 August 2009, 11:45 AM

I can't decide.

Tools · 5 August 2009, 11:51 AM

I think that the best looking green bezel is a black one........

valentine · 5 August 2009, 12:50 PM

i do it all the time! switch back and forth....looks awesome!

Tombstone · 5 August 2009, 02:18 PM

Anyone out there has swapped a TT Sub blue bezel on a SS Sub? This will make it blue sub....wonder how it looks.....

Tombstone · 6 August 2009, 03:19 PM

I have not seen a TT Sub blue bezel on a SS Sub, I would like to see it. Sounds cool.

presario · 6 August 2009, 03:31 PM

Sometimes you feel green, sometimes you feel black. Best of both worlds. Looks great!

allanofcalifornia · 6 August 2009, 03:58 PM

For me I think I would just have kept the green bezel insert.

Which insert do you like to wear the most?

Allan

Colnago · 6 August 2009, 04:04 PM

If I bought a Sub (which I hope to do eventually, after upper management approval of course) I would go for the LV every day of the week....but I would want the black swap option for definite....both look great...I love the maxi dial...

Tombstone · 6 August 2009, 05:20 PM

So far I have worn the green the most, I want to keep the black bezel in place for about a year, then I may go back to the green.

I am betting that you won't last 6 months and you will want to go back to the green!

Allan

Tombstone · 6 August 2009, 05:29 PM

You could be correct.

brochblue72 · 6 August 2009, 06:26 PM

The black one is by far the better look for the watch. It just belongs, personally i never got the whole GREEN thing! ok, it's fine for a change but the black just looks so much better, coupled with the maxi dial, it is perfect...

Xenophon · 6 August 2009, 07:18 PM

Much prefer the look of the black bezel to that of the green

foobar · 6 August 2009, 07:33 PM

Hello everybody!

Green bezel is the reason why i got the SubLV. It is very common here to see people wearing 16610 around (black bezel), but you can hardly see someone with the green bezel.

Whichever it is, Maxi dial still rocks! :-)

SubmarinerMan · 6 August 2009, 07:36 PM

Looks great! I Love the look of the maxi dial and the black bezel insert! I think I need to get a black insert for my LV.

SDDS · 6 August 2009, 07:55 PM

its nice but i would prefer to leave it as it is...

cdweller · 7 August 2009, 12:19 PM

Does this constitute a "frankenwatch" or is it just a simple modification that maintains the original integrity of the watch?

Rolex would consider it a frankenwatch.
