Thank you Jetsons,
I do like you seed.
I removed the rotating bezel and removed the insert.
I pull the glue and polished reducing the insert shape.
than with a lathe I reduced high of the rotating bezel too, I can't go down more than so, because there is the o-ring intersection.
that's the result.
Getting in paragon with one Gen 16610, it's always too low!
I have sure some problem to clearly understand that 3D..........
this is sure due to my bud English language comprehension:bangin:
SO:
I have to order the replacing set (BEZEL,INSERT,RETAINING RING FOR NEW ROLEX SUBMARINER).
I have to pull out the original MBW glass retaining link.
I have to adapt the Gen type new retaining ring.
assuming this is correct,
I do not understand how to get the right glass high.
sorry!
Thank you Slickdick,
I sow yesterday the link and it's sure interesting,
but there is one lose picture ( the 4rd one ) and is not so clear for me the exact work to do.

I guys,
I received this morning my MBW 16610,
immediately I started to mod it! .......................Like is obvious!!
Removing the bezel, I find some strange things:
The Bezel ring, is not like gen. bezel ring!!!
He has one lower round washer with same anti clock-wise rotating teeh.
There was not the classic gen. Rolex little spring.
see picture please:
Is this normal for 16610 MBW??
Can I get the gen. bezel too??
