Changing bezels on my 1680

[Vinguru]

Hi all,

 

I have a MBW white submariner with gen crystal and gen black insert. I would really love to be able to change the bezel according to my clothing and mood for the day. So actually I am looking a smart solution to make this watch a "transformer" into a kermit, smurf or black bay 

 

My question is: what do I need to buy and where in order to make this proces a simple as possible? Is this a good option or are there better ones?

Thanks,

 

Vincent

You don't need to buy another bezel. Just the bezel insert.

Technically you don't need a new bezel but only a insert.

But imakes life a lot easier if have a second bezel with insert cuase of you change the insert constanly you the risk of loosing it.

Btw pay attention to the kind of insert cause the insert shown in the link is a modern insert which is incorrect for the vintage rolex types.

Thanks for your replies! I actually overlooked the type of bezel. This gives direction so the hunt goes on!

Just don't change it to often or you may find yourself with a worn bezel ring that may come loose over time

Ok why?

I know it is your watch but

The 1680 came only with a black bezel insert

A modern sub would be better as that came as a Kermit in the LV
