Are there any suppliers or TDs that offer Diamond Inserts ( or bezels ) for Rolex SubC ?

Hi John,

I just picked up this watch to do some tinkering around with.

it's a very good quality rep IMO, but I'm not sure if I want to wear something this blingy afterall. I do however want the bezel for a project so I bought this other case to see how the diamond bezel compares. I haven't decided what pieces I will use ultimately but I may well be taking bezels off and doing some swapping around. I like the look of just the bezel on a plain case.

Cheers bro

I ended up ordering the Diamond Hulk Case. Hopefully I can swop this bezel for one of my Ceramic Hulks.

You guys better own jets and Rolls Royce to wear a sub 116659SABR replica outside in public. Every jeweler dreams to even touch one lol.

I have seen a few GEN owners pimping their Subs or GMTs with aftermarket diamond inserts in Instagram. Openly stating the insert at not genuine.

Hes in a Ferrari lol....he can rock a richard millie replica if he wants.

btw those replica diamond inserts, the Crystal fall out one by one they are just poorly set. I'm sure you know the cloudy effect already they get.

LOL, indeed!

Bad news bro. The gem case arrived today. The gems are not aligned well on the right side, and the triangle gem is set crooked and chipped at the top left. Too bad because the case is not bad at all. I've already asked for a mostly full refund (without return). There are parts I can use, including the gems if I were to lose some of mine in the other case. I still will probably try to put the good bezel on the new (non-gem lugs) case. Hope you have better luck.

My diamond bezel was acceptable but the bezel construction was not GEN spec so I cant fit it on my HULK.
I have tried to remove the diamond insert but without luck. I would love to re-use the gems but I have been unsuccessful in removing them.
Might be glued down.
