Scored a "Kermit LV" might paid to much for it, bu

[Orygun Sunset]

it is frugal...


Carl Greve is the Local AD for Rolex, Patek, Panerai, Breitling Cartier etc, they have a 3500 SF Watch show room in downtown Portland.





I have always been a little fond of the "Kermit green bezel"



Those Rolex Holograms are hard to capture.



One of the things about the Kermit is that it demands a closer inspection by those who know, so people will want to see it up close rather than just think or assume that is a another run of the mill diver like the plethora of black subs which are a common sighting.



The Kermit Bezel has a nice look on the 9937 don't ya think and I didn't have to pay $300.00 for a $1 piece of aluminum; Talk about your mark-ups, I guess that is marketing for you.

After being spoiled for the bang for the buck that one can get with an Omega, I think that it will be hard for me to ever be able to justify buying another Rolex other than to flip it for a profit.

In order to simplify here is a consolidated info on the Pro- diver bezels change and where to order from, I have no relation to the e-bayer other than having bought from him, he did me right (I didn't even ask either ) I won 6 things in multiple dutch auctions and he combined shipping and charged me the lowest shipping cost only $3.00 ( when he could have charged me over $20 total for each item like some of the e-bayers out there )

Very nice. What's the size?

It is just a Frakenwatch Bezel swap ala' 9937KLV ( Kermit 50 month anniversary of the 9937 LMAO), it is about $10 for the bezel with shipping from HK. From e-bay. Took about 3 minutes to swap ( I also picked up a fresh black bezel with the pearl with a ring at 12'oclock instead of the Invicta style ( hit or miss alignment in the Triangle)

But it 43mm with the Crown I think.

How do you swap the bezel? What's involved?

Almost as easy as the I36 but not quite, a little more involved. ( see photos)

A razor blade to gently lift the old bezel ( between the sapphire and the inner ring of the bezel gently prying around the bezel till one area separates then the rest is easy to get off)



and a tiny flat head screwdriver to scrape the old glue/epoxy from the inner ring of the bezel holder : This is important for the insert to sit right) Then remove adhesive backing from new bezel and insert (you can use a Popsicle stick to press gently around the the new bezel ring to make sure it has full contact )
