    Is it possible to acquire the black bezel and swap? I agree, that would be a good idea. I'm not a fan of steel coloured bezels...I just don't think they look good on a diver being the same colour as the case.

    Serious amount of effort though. Bought both watches, took the insert off the black, then went back to Rolex saying they lost their insert somehow and Rolex nearly demanded a service! After all that they had to then sell donor watch. I was considering but after reading the thread decided I don't have the stones.

    On the old bracelet without the rivetted bracelet or on a strap that would be lovely. They need to hurry up and make it (and maybe thin the slab case a bit at the same time).

    Thanks. I’m sure there was one for sale that had already had the mod done - thought that’s the one you meant.

    Blimey thats a lot of commitment and risk to accomplish a bezel insert swap! And I am understanding you correctly he sold it afterwards?

    Thanks. Wow...that's quite a quick turnaround from major quest to flipping it.

    It did look great though.

    Wonder if you ever took that back to Rolex because you'd scratched the bezel whether they'd refuse to refit another black one or whether you'd have to revert to silver.

    Or if you'd have to buy another Black Bay Black!
