Is it the bezel or bezel insert that is custom? Has something been added to the bezel insert, eg diamonds, that means it can no longer be push fitted back into the bezel?

the 16610/16613 bezels and inserts are the same size, the only difference is the 16613 has a gold bezel not SS and a different coloured insert.

Yes it's a custom stainless one with diamonds and the one coming off is a gold one,the custom one has prev been on a 16610

There's no reason why the bezel won't fit the 16613. The case is the same as the 16610. It is all pressure fitted. The bezel insert pushes into the bezel and the bezel pushes down and snaps onto the case over the crystal. If it doesn't fit it must be the way the diamonds are set stopping it all fitting together.
