How to change the bezel insert on your Rolex Submariner

[hip2dadip]

I was cleaning my submariner with CDA and alcohol, (BAD combination) I ended up losing the luminous dot from the bezel. I don't want to spend hundreds on a new ceramic bezel insert when I ONLY need the dot. do you know where I can find one?

@hip2dadip : Go to your Rolex Dealer.

0:24 Kind of brutal but if the watch is a beater then this is fine. I like mine to look showroom fresh. So I use plastic tools for bezels.

Is the bezel removal the same on a 1973 5513? It has the bi-directional autolock bezel (no click).

I don't want to change the insert, only give the watch a good clean.

No solid end links? WTF going on here

@Will403536 : No SEL on vintage Rolex.

everytime I put back the pin the watch stops moving and when i get it out its back to work .....WHAT TO DO >>>>PLEASE HELP!

Two jewelers wanted to charge me between $40-60 dollars today,to do this simple change.

Can you believe thieving Rolex dealers wanted to charge me between £60 - £70 to do this which obvously takes under 3 minutes. That's quite an hourly rate by anyone standards. Cheeky B.......S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! A brand new original Submariner Rolex bezel insert (non diamond or gold) only costs £27.00 inc VAT, so dont get ripped off if you want to change it. Rolex get a rough ride for ripping people off but i find more often than not its the dealers who inflate prices!

Is this the same way for the day date models ?

[cedipro]

@pmparise : It's not the same bezel so I think it's not the same way.

[pmparise]

Very fast ! Awesome !

thanks a lot... great DIY

Maybe next time you should let this into the hands of a professional.

[cedipro]

@nandutzu : Tell me why?

Does the watch is broken? I don't think so. I've done this operation a hundred times.

A professional teached me how to do it.

[nandutzu]

@cedipro The watch isn't broken but it probably got a few scratches on it. It should be handled with more care in a more proper environment, especially a fine watch like this.
