How to Change a Rolex GMT Insert

If you have ever seen the price of a Rolex watch, you have probably realized that they are not cheap. Even if you can easily afford to purchase this high-end time piece, it is nice to know that with a little bit of patience and the right tools, you can replace the bezel insert yourself, saving the cost of having a professional do it in the store.

Things You'll Need

• Bezel insert
• Strap tool
• Pocketknife
• Rolex GMT watch

Instructions

1. Use the strap tool to take one end of the strap off the face of the watch. Insert the sharp point of the tool into the two small circles that are holding the strap in place and pull gently to remove.

2. Wedge the pocketknife between the case and the bezel and pop the top off.

3. Ensure that the ring underneath the bezel stays firmly inside the spring at the bottom of the face.

4. Remove the insert from inside the bezel.

5. Place the bezel back on the watch.

6. Line up the new insert on top of the bezel and click into place.

7. Snap the strap back into place.
