Always load the bezel in first without the bezel insert. That way you can align the 12:00 triangle on the insert so it lines up perfectly when you turn the bezel right and lock it in place. You have many triangles off center due to an improper install like he did in this video. Everything else he did was fine minus this critical step.

Sir...I'd like to thank you VERY much for this superb video. I knocked the bezel off my Rolex Submariner by banging it against my refrigerator door (OK...don't ask). I snapped the bezel back on...but didn't have the one-way ratcheting feature. I watched your video and discovered I was missing the tiny wire spring. Miracle of miracles...I actually found the spring inside my refrigerator where I banged the bezel off. That is one TINY spring...but I managed to get it back in the hole...and snapped the bezel back on as you described. BINGO...my watch now works perfectly...many thinks to you! Cheers!

I enjoyed this video but the problem is i dont even have a submariner. But you do now have a new subscriber.

I was able to put my bezel back on after accidentally popping it off. Super helpful to have this how to vid...thanks!!

Thanks a lot, mine just popped off and thanks to your video I was able to re-trace my steps & find the bezel spring, which I had failed to notice when I picked up the bezel. Now it’s all cleaned & back in place. Winner 😅

Great video, you make that job look easy! I would love to change mine, can you tell us where the replacement came from and what was the cost please?

Great video. I don’t have the courage to try this yet out i will eventually!

Hi Adrian. Great video, much appreciated. Have you got a link to your preferred bezel insert shop? On the lookout for a green one, but want the right shade. Thanks.

Great video, I have not tried swapping the insert on any of my pieces but Ihave seen it done without removing the washer or click spring.

Thanks for that,, my bezel had got stuck and after watching you vid ,, i took it apart, cleaned out the dirt and re attached,, all good,, tho putting that little spring back in place caused a few profanities haha ,,cheers

Thanks for the video! I love your aftermarket green aluminum bezel, where can I get the same one? I’m ok with it being non authentic but just needs to fit and look the part :) this could really spice up my 16610!!

Hello Adrien are you aware if the after market green bezel insert will fit on a 1997 rolex 14060, as im thinking of changing the look and playing around, thank you.

wow...that was both amazing and educational....cool stuff.

Wow I’m tempted to get the 16610ln and get a green bezel 🤔

Thank dude! very useful video...

Really well made video. I cannot afford a real submariner, so I just bought some regular watch that's similar and ordered a green bezel to replace it. The system is different. In my watch the bezel insert is glued, lol, and I'm looking for which glue to use. Thanks for the video.

Cool vid. I need to replace the Lume Pip on my Rolex Submariner. Any tips please?

After 20 years of owning from new, my bezel, insert, spring and spring washer disappeared. I wear my Sea Dweller 24/7, diving, motorcycling, workshop, office, bed... so no idea where the bits went or why/how. So, can you suggest how I lost them, but more importantly where to get replacements? (I have a theory that mechanics hand cleanser which contains abrasive beads, worked its way between the bezel and case so that it "un-clicked". What do you think?

Thank you for the formidable explanation. Is it the same procedure with the Glycine Combat Sub ?

Hi there, will it work the same way on the gold bezel of a 16613, which is softer than stainless steel? My pearl crystal broke and I got a new OEM bezel and want to exchange it! Best regards!

Hi......was that watch originally a hulk mariner? Or was it bought original with black face green bezel? . Nice vid

Nice vid! Always wanted to know how it’s done.

Are the unidirectional bezels made of white gold or stainless? Just picked up a no date and this was a question I had

Hi, I need to change a crystal gasket on a Daytona. However I'm scared of snapping the ceramic bezal when I remove it. Also with lining up the etched rolex crown in the crystal. So you have any tips?

Great video! How do you feel about using aftermarket bezel inserts? You don't feel like you are cheating on the quality by a large degree? I would be tempted to get the Kermit look (love the green against black) without buying that 50year anniversary model. Where would I be able to find replacement bezel inserts?

Great video Adrian. Would like to know where to get a high quality bezel insert in the correct green and marker colors for a Hulk 116610LV. Anyone know a good option?

Great video, where did you get your insert from, thinking about doing what you did with your LV. Kind regards from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

nice vid, where do you get the bezels and it would have been great to hear a little but about the quality/differences of the aftermarket bezels vs the originals. Thanks.

Is the bezel changing possible with a Tudor Black Bay? I Have the Steel one and i want to have the option to change with the red colord bezel or the Black one and the green :)

best advice! Thank you

You make this look so simple....really tempted to try it on my 16600 Sea Dweller. Give it a Kermit style green bezel 🐸

Brave soul! do you mind sharing the outer and inner diameter of the bezel insert?

My insert fell off one night I left it on while sleeping and the watch just came back from Rolex servicing. Messaged them and they said that I must carry it to a watch smith to have it put back on. I live in the caribbean and it went to service in florida. My question , can I put it back on without removing the bezel?

Hi. Is there any wobble or play on the 12 and 6 o’clock?

Great vid!!!!!! On the question of After market bezels, I've been on the search for one for my 16610, but i have noticed most sellers selling AM bezels stated that a small amount of adhesive or glue is needed. I don't know about everyone else but putting glue or adhesive on a Rolex is stupid and sounds like the bezels aren't made to a high quality. ( SO my question is can anyone recommend a good reliable supplier of AM bezels in the UK that will fit snug like the authentic ones do "NO GLUE or ADHESIVE" Thanks

Where did You buy your aftermarket bezel? I'd also like to protect my genuine one.

where do you get your bezels from?

I'd be terrified to try this lol

Looks all very smooth... I guarantee that if I would try this, the spring would jump away and will never be found back again. Not to mention the scratches and dents I probably create on the watch housing itself... Maybe its clear I wouldnt try this myself;)

I am getting a new Green Bezel for my Sub... but it has to be Original Rolex... I understand cheap ones are there on the market, but the Original parts will keep their value and so will you watch... loved your video

is it ceramic or film bezel that you change on this vdo clip?

Quality demo

I bought a 2nd hand submariner from a what seemed like a reputable dealer and I noticed after I took it home the bezel is too tight but comes loose around the 2 o'clock mark. Also, when you shake it it sounds like something is loose inside it like a tiny piece of metal. I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated.

I have a Movado series 800 and I hate the bezel and cant return it. where do you order the bezel parts from ? Thank you.

Hello, pls let me know from where I can buy a Bezel Insert for my blue Tudor Pelagos? Thanks

how do you make sure the triangle is perfectly aligned with the triangle hour marker

nice video

I own a yacht master and really want to change the bezel and the dial for something like the black submariner. 1- do you think it’s possible ? 2-And if yes, any recommended places to buy from online ? 3- I kinda like how it looks without the bezel is it bad for the watch ? Thanks really helped

Is the is same for a Rolex Deepsea?

Very useful vid ! Is it still possible on the current ceramic versions ? Thanks !

Is that same way for the 126610 2023 to change it thks

Hei. Where didd you buy this part from?

Could this be done the same way with a Ginault? Also where do I buy one of those leather cloth/pads from?

HELLO' DO YOU HAVE SOME VIDEOS ON HOW TO INSTALL ROLEX ACRYLIC CRYSTAL CASE #1675??( EASY BRITTLE OR DAMEGE') DOES NEED A SPECIAL DIES??. THANKS RALPH.

Do you think I should get a black submariner and just get a green bezel for it

Super smart having aftermarket inserts in a watch of that value!

Hey, great video, where is a good place to look for replacement bezel's ?

Nice

What material is it made of please?

May i know where i can buy a bezel?

Can the rolex store do this for you? I lost the pearl in the bezel

hi adrian, interesting video. do you know if this is possible to do on the new gmt's? cermaic bezel? ive heard its not but you may have a different view. also, if it is possible, do you know where i could source an insert? im after rolex parts only, not knock offs fyi.

Wow, that was brave! I’d never attempt that with any of my watches.

I want that LV

Anyone know how to remove a 79230 bezel? I’d love to swap out some colors and possibly a GMT bezel

I want to change my black sub into a Kermit now!

WARNING: my 2018 sub has four spring button locations: 1, 4, 7, 10 o'clock locations. if you pry at 7 o'clock as recommended in this video, you WILL damage one of the spring buttons. best to pry at 5 o'clock. just found out this method doesn't work with a ceramic bezel. it's different with the aluminum as shown above. I can't get my bezel back on.

Do you sell any bezel

Man, you are brave - Aren't you nervous about doing this on such an expensive watch?

How much is the 2004 submariner bezel price please 🙏

Where can I buy bezels ?

The thing is this,,, I have a genuine 1982 GMT Master with a Pepsi bezel,, nicely worn and totally genuine,, bought in 82 for around £800, GBP ,, now worth in excess of £6000 GBP ,, if I change the bezel,, value drops to around £1000, GBP,, So don't mess around with your Roly, if it's genuine!!

I work in psychiatry and I feel many Rolex owners have psychological issues regarding the "genuiness" of their Rolex. What's with having fun and creativity. Most freak out when they've found I put something aftermarket on my Rolex. Come on! On my 16710 (originally with a pepsi bezel), I have a few aftermarket bezel inserts that I frequently swap in and out while my genuine insert is protected in the box. I usually wear my pepsi and coke inserts during the spring/summer and use the black insert during the winters. Over the years, I've replaced at least a couple of different sets of scratched up coke and pepsi inserts. Thanks to the perfect condition of the original pepsi insert, I recently popped it back in and sold the watch for a big profit. TBH, on the 16710, unless I remove and compare the brand new inserts side by side, I couldn't easily tell the difference which is gen and which is aftermarket. Imagine both inserts having a little wear, it is just visually impossible to distinguish when sitting inside the bezel! Enjoy your watch! 😀

can this be done with ceramic bezel?

😍

I like to pop off the bezel within a large plastic bag. That way if the tiny spring pops off I can easily collect it. Lessons learned 😂

Wow,ballsy! If you`re watchmaker i guess it`s not as unnerving as it would seem but still.... I`ve messed around with a couple of old Seikos just to try my hand at it but toying with a Rolex. Do you repair watches for a living?

lets do a yt competition. who can open the most oyster cases in 10mins. ;)

Nice vid. I love the look of the sub like most people and it’s super nice quality-wise but can’t figure out why the top dive watch in the world doesn’t have a luminous bezel. Just can’t get over it. Takes away the tool aspect of the watch. May just go with a Pelagos.

Wow, the click springs on these older Subs are really poor quality.

Without the bezel it looks like an explorer

Just did the same for my sub thanks to your vid. Thank you! Sub’d

OKI I’ll order my coke bezal quick question is that spring in same place of all rolex bezal pre ceramic such as sub gmt and sea dweller ?

👍🏼

alignment ?

Where did you get the bezel inserts?

Can someone PLEASE tell me what Rolex model/year he is wearing in the video?!!! I couldn't take my eyes off of it the entire video!!!!

hello, is anyone know where I can buy a green bezel ?

Good video but I give up. Just spent 30 minutes attempting to put things back together but the spring won’t cooperate, keeps popping out so just left it off. Will have it installed the next time it’s serviced.

hey where did you get this nice submariner replica, it looks pretty good

Thank You...I just want to say in case people dont see it the washer/tension ring goes on first then the click spring , Also I dont know what kind of Clown had the watch before me but the click spring hole was at 6pm which says someone changed the crystal then pressed on the the crystal retention ring at the wrong place...OMG beware idiots

"I have 2 rolex's"

the parts come off so easily, makes me wonder if theyre really that waterproof

Noob : Mod an SKX Legend : Mod a submariner 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Hell with a Rolex I didn't know they went together like Lego Block's I guess I'll just stick to my old Junky Casio ‼️

Why would anybody use a non Rolex bezel insert after paying all that scratch for the watch?

You should have done a close up of the spring. That part is essential to get right and you didnt do any close up.. sigh

Is this your Kermit? Is the bezel insert in your Kermit aftermarket? Or do you have two submariners both with green bezel inserts?

Wow. Thats A pretty shyt quality bezel system on the rolex

🙈🙈🙈 the kermit is much cooler than the normal sub. Why are you changin it ?
