The problem is, the aftermarket bezels are all either WHITE filled, or some other color, so expect to strip and repaint...

ALSO, if you have a 166xx Rolex, the bezel insert will be too large, as they are made for the 1166xx Ceramic models, so expect to have to file it down...

And by File it down, I mean take a diamond wheel to it... Ceramic is FUCKING hard.

Ouch. Not going there. Thank you for letting me know. Mine is an old 16803. Some sellers on eBay claim to make ceramic bezels that would fit these older models, but I don't trust them.

So, is yours a newer model? Or did you go through the trouble to make it fit?

I 3d printed an arbor, chucked the arbor in my drill and spun the bezel while using a diamond wheel on my dremel to slowly remove material.

Easy peasy.

Yeah. Every ceramic i've ever gotten has been sized for the 116xxx cases not the 16xxx.
