how are you making sure that the newly inserted bezel is aligned perfectly? are there any additional slots or do you have to place it perfectly each time you swap?
Great video but as someone who worked with a Rolex technician for 3 years, you are doing it correctly but I would suggest doing it the second way by putting on the bezel first like you did followed by aligning the bezel insert with the dial. It always bothered me when they just simply popped on the bezel and no worries were given. Some may not care but I like a perfectly lined bezel when I can.
It’s a great idea to change the bezel it completely changes the look of the watch. Thank you for showing us how to do this I’ve never seen it done before.The Pepsi I like on the watch it looks nice . Looking forward to watching you soon , Happy New Year to you .
great video! just think about aligning the triangle on the bezel with the 12 a clock line when you push the new bezel in. as you can see in the video you are actually slightly off to the left with the insert.
I really want my first Swiss watch to be a Rolex Submariner. However, it seems like all the watches are impossible to get from an authorized AD. Any advice on how to get one guys? aside from second market not paying 20k for it. Thanks
Interesting i all ways thought it would be harder than that to change the bezel , never really thought about changing the bezel thinking it would be to difficult E.G. elinegment issues and damage to the watch its self but you made that look easy . Good choice on the bezel 👍🏼
Always great hearing from you LWC!! I think the Coke bezel looks by far the best on the GMT Master. On a side note, where did you get the Rolex inspection pad?? Looking forward to your next video.🤙
thanks for this information, i would like to ask : could all GMT have their bezel changed , , also which is reasonably priced GMT that could have its bezel changed to Pepsi , buying a Pepsi is rather expensive that why i am thinking to get just GMT with its standard black bezel and then change it to Pepsi, thanks
Hi.. This video was very interesting. Obviously you have your AD connections. For someone like me, who doesn't have that type of access, where can I find the original authentic bezel? Thanks.
Great video ! Now I believe I could change the bezel myself. I like the Coke bezel because the red and black pop out and shows the beauty of the GMT Master ii. What is the correct Coke bezel code from Rolex. I would like to purchase one. My watch is Rolex GMT Master ii 16710. Please advise! Thanks
Do u remove your own links? If so what tools are required for a jubilee bracelet... my AD removed 2 links from the same side an now the clasp is offset so I wanted to correct it myself
Check out my latest video where I give tips on bracelet resizing. 1.6mm Horotec hollow ground screwdriver, butane blowtorch, Kapton polymide tape. See links below. Firstly put polymide tape over the screw. Then heat the other end for 10 seconds with the blowtorch to melt the threadlock. Then unscrew using the hollow ground screwdriver. The polymide tape prevents scratches to the links if one slips with the screwdriver.

Excellent video and DIY brother! Love your videos. Can you kindly suggest the best place to buy bezel insert for a 16760 and 16710? Online would be best for me. Thanks
LWC, i remember when you bought the AP skeleton you promised to make a separate video about the details of the movement and mechanism. Please consider making that video as i would be very interested in watching it.
I don't know if I'd ever get to leave the house with your collection. Deciding wat to wear must take you hours and that's not including getting distracted by just looking at them.
A happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you your family and friends. Thank you for all your content in 2020. And your help with the Explorer (I'm also Watches of London) due to Covid not had a chance to meet with him but hope to soon. Wishing you all the best
I can never, for the life of me, get that bezel to pop off. Any tips? I am having a hell of a time getting the tool to slide in. When I do the damn thing is stuck hard.
Where can you source genuine bezel? My country AD and service center not sold separately even services and has replace parts. Service center never return old parts.
Small tip when you next do this again, as you done all the steps right but when you put the ceramic, just line the top marking on the bezel to the top marking of the watch so it lines up perfect as yours was a bit off center
can i change bezel of datejust 41mm 2019 model easy like that ? want to make an diamond bezel but not if its water proof after it. can you give me information about my model.
My favorite on this model is still the Pepsi. Just more eye-catching without being gaudy. And my father had one for a while, so it reminds me of him (RIP) too 🙂
Yes, it’s best to source a separate bezel ring for each insert, but they are not as “easy” to get as the insert themselves. With bezel rings or grips, you can change them on a daily basis without wear.
Great vid brother, but im amazed how easy is to remove rolex bezel without much force and bending the case and bezel... Also im amazed how rolex insert doesnt need any glue but when u click it its super solid... Thats very nice and if other companies start making their bezels this way will be much easier if bezel spring broke to change it or something else happen. Cheers!
As said, Coke bezel will definitely suits the watch better than any other bezel mainly because of the red hand. But I was curious to look more closely to the spring since it is not clear and what If it pooped out and one has to replace it. Not a critic but I hope that helps to people looking for changing the bezel.
If it pops out there’s no need to replace it u can just fit it back, it’s just a hassle, as you need to align it and get the angle right etc .. so if it can be a avoided then why not..
My man over here casually modding Gmt masters like they are seikos.
My thoughts exactly! I wouldn't even attempt that on my Seikos lol
This guy's job is modding humans bro. I think modding a GMT isn't too hard
HAHAHAHA Rich man hobbies 😁
@@Spectator007doctor?
fixing one watch is pretty much same as any other watch. i can change a bezel and a crystal, thats about where my ability stops though.
No apologies for the short review, I think that it's simply perfect, straight to the point and perfectly informative ! Loved it.
Starting 2021 how it should be, watching LWC
Can’t agree more 😂👍🏽 I really missed watching his videos
I don’t own a Rolex but I like listening to this guy 👌
Many thx! 've never understood the hype over the Pepsi, the Coke is by far much harmonious.
how are you making sure that the newly inserted bezel is aligned perfectly? are there any additional slots or do you have to place it perfectly each time you swap?
It doesn’t matter
step 1: own a rolex
Or get a car so you can drive to work to make money for a rolex. o.O
@@dsalpha18 or move to the city sow you can walk to work
@@magnuscarlsenbutdumb or buy a dictionary and learn to spell,
@@abitofmymind Or go back to school so you can learn punctuation.
With a bezel

Just finished watching. What a simple process. Thanks for the how to!
Where did you source the bezel inserts and how much were they ?
Wow, I thought the bezel inserts are glued to the bezel.
Something new I learned today I guess!
Super clones are glued I believe seen it hence cheaper
It’s a great idea to change the bezel it completely changes the look of the watch.
Thank you for showing us how to do this I’ve never seen it done before.The Pepsi I like on the watch it looks nice .
Looking forward to watching you soon , Happy New Year to you .

Where do you get your Pepsi bezel from? I have the black bezel like you and want to change to Pepsi.. thanks
Keep up the great work I always love your videos and look forward to seeing your collection grow!!!! Many wishes and appreciation from Texas!!
Just discovered your channel yesterday and i am already a fan of yours! Great content!!
Good going with video and Welcome back LWC
When did Rolex start using the ceramic bezel on the submariner?
Thank you the video.
Happy New Year LWC !! Was waiting for your video, Love from Dubai. Stay Safe and Happy
It’s nice to see that you have the ‘error’ stick dial as I do. It’s rare and fetch a higher value for the range 16710 😊
I really want my first Swiss watch to be a Rolex Submariner. However, it seems like all the watches are impossible to get from an authorized AD. Any advice on how to get one guys? aside from second market not paying 20k for it. Thanks
Buy from a private seller on eBay or Chrono24. Regards.
You're back! Glad to see another video after so long. Hope you and your family are doing fine.
Interesting i all ways thought it would be harder than that to change the bezel , never really thought about changing the bezel thinking it would be to difficult E.G. elinegment issues and damage to the watch its self but you made that look easy .
Good choice on the bezel 👍🏼
Have you ever change the bezel dot on a submariner rolex mate if so how hard is it and have you got a video of it??
It’s no different
Always great hearing from you LWC!! I think the Coke bezel looks by far the best on the GMT Master. On a side note, where did you get the Rolex inspection pad?? Looking forward to your next video.🤙
Amazing how quick and easy it was to change that bezel. Where can one buy the bezels?
Have you tried with the newer ceramic model? I have the sprite and want to source coke or Pepsi bezel replacement
It’s good having LWC back!
thanks for this information, i would like to ask : could all GMT have their bezel changed , , also which is reasonably priced GMT that could have its bezel changed to Pepsi , buying a Pepsi is rather expensive that why i am thinking to get just GMT with its standard black bezel and then change it to Pepsi, thanks
Hi.. This video was very interesting. Obviously you have your AD connections. For someone like me, who doesn't have that type of access, where can I find the original authentic bezel? Thanks.
LWC, what kind of watch tools should I buy? Do you recommend any?
Did you ever attempt any ceramic replacement bezels?
Thanks for the great video LWC. Glad you are back. How did you get the additional bezel inserts for it?
Great video ! Now I believe I could change the bezel myself. I like the Coke bezel because the red and black pop out and shows the beauty of the GMT Master ii. What is the correct Coke bezel code from Rolex. I would like to purchase one. My watch is Rolex GMT Master ii 16710. Please advise! Thanks

Do you have a problem with your arm hair getting stuck and being pulled by the bracelet?
Are the original bezels metallic In color or more plastic in color on the GMT-2. Blue Red bezel ?
hey thanks for the vid, i was hoping all was well in london esp since we didn't have a vid in a while. so good to know you are well.
Good to see you back man. Great video
do u know which size i should get for my 41mm rolex submariner ?
Excellent video and DIY brother! Love your videos. Can you kindly suggest the best place to buy bezel insert for a 16760 and 16710? Online would be best for me. Thanks
Where did you source the other colored bezels? Were you able to purchase from RSC?
Please advise, do you need to pay special attention to alight 12 with the triangle?
Good video! make more clips on maintenance / tools that you use, what in your experience is worth buying! Looking fwd to many more videos in 2021!!!
You did that with far more confidence than I'd bring to the task
Glad to have you back mate 👍 happy new year to you and the family
The coke bezel suits it best. Do you think they will reintroduce a ceramic coke in the future?
Yes definitely Lucas maybe in 5-8 yrs time
Man, a good way to own all those styles! Just buy one, and switch out when you want!!!
Where can I purchase a real Tolex bezel insert for my aluminum GMT-M II and how much should I expect to pay? Thanks
What do you think of Watches like Richard Mille or Hublot?
where did you get the bezels??
Where I can buy a ceramic bezel for my Blue Tudor Pelagos ?? Thanks
are those genuine bezels or aftermarket?
LWC, i remember when you bought the AP skeleton you promised to make a separate video about the details of the movement and mechanism. Please consider making that video as i would be very interested in watching it.
Will do buddy! 👍🏼
Been waiting for this video for a long time. Thank you
I don't know if I'd ever get to leave the house with your collection. Deciding wat to wear must take you hours and that's not including getting distracted by just looking at them.
That’s another reason why I limited the number of watches I have at home
@@LondonWatchCollector yeah he mentioned most of them are at the bank because of insurance
And then deciding which car to drive could take a while longer......
Hello I have a 126710 BLNR. Which Pepsi bezel will fit?
Glad you’re back.
Great Video! Thank You, my favorite is the coke, then LN...
Happy new year 2021

Great video, I presume they're genuine Rolex inserts? How much would they be to buy?
You always make things look so simple hehe, Happy New Year Fella.
What size are the bezel inserts as i have a submariner that needs new insert
Hello, does this work on a rolex datejust 36mm 116234?
How did you buy the bezel?
Do you know if the submariner and gmt shares the same structure to change their ceramic bezel?
looks great!! Thanks for sharing and happy New year to you and your family!
Can you order genuine rolex bezel in the rsc?
Welcome back. Happy 2021😍
I can never, for the life of me, get that bezel to pop off. Any tips? I am having a hell of a time getting the tool to slide in. When I do the damn thing is stuck hard.
Where can you source genuine bezel?
My country AD and service center not sold separately even services and has replace parts. Service center never return old parts.
Hello LWC, hey guys, what y'all thinking about ROLEX CELLINI Ref. 50505??
Thanks.
Small tip when you next do this again, as you done all the steps right but when you put the ceramic, just line the top marking on the bezel to the top marking of the watch so it lines up perfect as yours was a bit off center
Does the bezel have to be in a certain position?
HNY. Nice, I would go with the Pepsi bezel, it's the one that comes to mind first, and that distinguishes most from bezels from other models.
Love that Pepsi, great video.
Fantastic work and very good Video! 👍
Same process for my 1675 correct ? The only video I've seen was quite terrible thanks for this !
I want to get a GMT and change out some bezels as I can get them all in Japan!
Any links you can share because I want to get a bezel or two as well for a 16760 or 16710, whichever one I end up buying soon.
New subscriber here:
Wow! You've got a really great collection!
Shouldn’t you be careful when inserting the insert so that the triangle perfectly aligns up to the 12?
Thank you. I appreciate this video very much.
Any idea if the Tudor GMT bezel is similar?
Would it possible to add a fluted bezel on to DJ smooth?
can i change bezel of datejust 41mm 2019 model easy like that ? want to make an diamond bezel but not if its water proof after it. can you give me information about my model.
Happy new year!
Yay, I am eaely for a video. Finally
Wow! very interesting. I always thought that they were glued in...... How on earth did you learn how to do this?
My favorite on this model is still the Pepsi. Just more eye-catching without being gaudy. And my father had one for a while, so it reminds me of him (RIP) too 🙂
May he rest in peace ❤️
Where did you source the new bezels?
I always wonder the name of the music at the beginning of your videos
If you keep changing the insert, will it wear off the metal over time, causing it to be not as tight as before?
Yes, it’s best to source a separate bezel ring for each insert, but they are not as “easy” to get as the insert themselves. With bezel rings or grips, you can change them on a daily basis without wear.

When are you buying a vacheron constantin
You should get the new Omega Silver Snoopy Award!! Hope to see it in your collection soon! Beatiful piece😍
Crazy watch collection 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I wish i had some

does the bezel insert on sub 116610 fit ref 126510?
