GMT II Pepsi Bezel Insert

[GMTIIPilot]

Hey gang,

does anybody know where I might be able to pick up a pepsi bezel insert. I bought a black one from my local AD but they would only sell me one. Ive asked a few other AD's and none say they can get them. I guess I could buy another watch, then I bet a bezel would show up quick. Anyway, thanks advance for any info.

thought you could buy them from any AD for in the UK approx £60 GBP (approx $115)

Trust me go genuine.It might take time to find an AD who will help but it is worth it.:thumbsup:

I bought a bezel insert from the mentioned store and had to do quite a bit of modifying to make it fit.In the end I trashed it.:thumbsdow

spoke to my AD today to find out what the exact cost is for the bezel - heard anything from £25 - £60...

Sounds about right, Andy! :thumbsup:

[D4UK]

well he said he'll call me on monday with the exact cost and i'll probably look to get it done while it's getting a service in a month or so... (it's a late 03 model so could do with having a little TLC levied on it...)

Bah, you don't need a service. Don't waste your money. I'm of the thought "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." There are others here as well that have this idea also. I've seen a few Rolex watches go over 10 yrs without a service and not miss a beat :thumbsup: I think Ed will back this up.

That's my philosophy, Paul. My oldest is a 1983 TT DJ which I doubt has ever been serviced. It keeps just as good time as my newest, the GMT. You don't mess with success, IMHO. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[D4UK]

it's good to hear that the service isn't 100% necessary just yet - having said that i'm looking to have the bracelet and case refurbed too - all that daily wear is taking it's toll (and the refurb is a by product of the service)

mind you i might try and have a deal with tardis for his 2005 GMTII and then flip my 03 one..

[jeremyh172]

Did you not want the all black one?If not i have a pepsi one on my gmt.I would trade you if you don't want it.I do just mean the bezal of course.

[D4UK]

spoke tp the dealer yesterday - the confirmed price for the bezel insert change is only £26.50 and takes a couple of weeks.

Jeremy - it's not that I don't want the black bezel anymore - just that i fancy a change (or at least i'm thinking about it) tho would only want the black/red if i was to change at all.

[jeremyh172]

O i got ya.Just thought I would try to help a fellow rolex owner out...:cheers:
What is that in US dollers?

[D4UK]

No worries Jeremy - for a crazy second i'd thought about keeping mine and buying Tardis's one.. but funds are a bit too tight for that right now. (another reason for the change would be that at some point i'm likely to get either a Sub Date or SD and would want the GMT to look a little different from it.

Re: the bezel insert costs.
£26.50 is about $50 USD

[ji603]

my AD quoted me $150 US for a new bezel insert on mine.... guess I should shop around.

[D4UK]

are you sure that's just the insert? because they can also change the whole bezel which in the UK was quoted at approx £105 GBP

[ji603]

just the insert, yep - with no guarantee of being able to keep the old one. Scottsdale AZ elitists :)

[D4UK]

well mine def quoted £26.50 GBP and said that they would be able to request that the old insert was returned with the watch.
