When does a Pepsi become a Coke?

Easy! After you pick up a great Coke bezel from Steve and then read Jocke's tutorial on changing the bezel. And also get a little help from Karis, Mik, and some other great people.

Now all I need is a Jubilee bracelet! That is on my short list.

Here is the transformation:

From Pepsi:







To Coke!

It's amazing the difference a little change of color makes.

I am in good company it seems!

I have to say that this watch is lighter and much more comfortable than my YM. That was a surprise as I didn't think that the gold in the YM would make a difference in weight.

I usually don't wear my watches around the house, but I haven't had this on off my wrist since I changed the bezel earlier this afternoon.

Sweet!

I like the Coke, but the Pepsi smiles a bit more to me since all of my watches have no color at all, just black and white.
