Caspar 1 Posted October 19, 2020 Hi fellow enthousiast. i just recieved an arf v2 116613lb through another forum. But i am not satisfied with the colors of the bezelinsert. You guys know where to find a good replacement? R factory is a bit expensive so i prefer a great rep Insert haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aramis2288 6,317 Posted October 19, 2020 Good replacement for the blue-gold ceramic bezel? Thin chances to find any IMO. 116613LB is made only by ARF and GM factories afaik. So not only you have no better option on the rep market, but also finding this bezel as a gen part is as extremely unlikely as it would be pricey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the only gen bezelsinsert i find are with full bezel assembly for around $2500 to 3000 and one insert for 1200 haha damn. I’ll have to settle with this one. It’s not bad tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted October 20, 2020 There are some odd ones floating around eBay and DHGate, but I'm not sure they'd be an improvement: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-and-Gold-Ceramic-Bezel-Insert-to-fits-for-Rolex-Submariner-16610LN-16613V/222668576254?_trkparms=aid%3D555021%26algo%3DPL.SIMRVI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225074%26meid%3D7cd819fa5ef64ed89aef16e42bf19c01%26pid%3D100752%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D13%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D171813020841%26itm%3D222668576254%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplRVIAMLv5WebWithPLRVIOnTopCombiner&_trksid=p2047675.c100752.m1982 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll have to settle with this one. It’s not bad tho Yeah, you see, the grey zone of franken rollies is VERY pricey. Even silly gen black insert GMT II with bezel set, which is the most basic you can get, goes for +/- $1,5k .... So yeah, not very worth it I suppose, unless you are very determined to get gen parts on your rep ;). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
