I have a 16610 Submariner which I've owned from new, my grail is the 116619LB but at close to £20k it will be a long while before I can afford one and frankly there's lots more stuff I'd rather spend £20K on!

My question is does anyone sell/make a bezel and dial in the same colour as the LB which would fit a 16610?

I know it may sound like I'm ruining a classic watch but if it was modified it could be returned to standard.

Someone posted about changing faces a while ago in this section; I do like the white gold Subs, too. Blue. Mmm.

Yes, saw one in the window at the Rolex dealer in Venice a few months ago, they had an amazing selection and this just stood out for me, at first I thought it was a steely and was gonna bid on it but after a quick google I realised it was way out of my league.

Back to my post, can anyone help?

I wouldn't have thought there would be any difficulty in getting the new pieces fitted, I reckon the difficult bit would be finding genuine parts to use!
