Haha. Exactly. Both 16610 and the LV uses exactly the same movement. The only difference is the bezel. Not sure if RSC in other countries allow buying of the Green bezel. For sure, RSC Singapore doesn't allow

They will allow...only if yours is a LV...then you say you want to change.but dun be too happy also,coz they will take in the old 1

I think rolex not stupid also. They probably made the size of the green bezel insert slightly different from the black such that it wont fit.

i read somewhere in another rolex forum where someone managed to change the green to black. so i guess the size is the same.

BTW, how to replace the insert ourself? Use screw driver can or not? I saw alot of aftermarket spare parts in ebay. Can custom fit woh.

I think it's possible to change between the bezels,but the problem is getting the green/black bezel. BUT,the maxi dial....cannot be changed

I am not sure leh,screwdriver I scared will scratch the bezel. And those aftermarket stuff on eBay are not very gd quality,the colour is weird...so will make your Rolex look fake

Agree with triton. Not advisable to DIY though I've heard of friends who manage to do so with a small knife. Better to pay a little than to risk damaging the watch

some money cannot be saved one. or risk having a scratch bezel.

Both Explorer series and Submariner series have their own legacy. Each series tell a long long heritage and story. One day one night also not enough.
One raced to conquer the altitude while the other sinked to the deeper depths.



But amongst the explorer series, Explorer 1 tend to be 'sidelined' to Explorer II, although latter is more lao jiao and offers great heritage.

I love the look of 1016

Of course. Exp I and Exp II are completely different watches. Can't compare them together
