I got another GMT...
BEZEL INSERT!!!!
Got ya! I was fortunate enough to find a brand new Coke bezel for my GMT. I've never had the coke color combonation on my wrist before. I like it!!!! I took some interesting pics while in the process of swapping the inserts. I hope you guys enjoy them! Before the swap w/ Pepsi insert ![]() Pepsi insert and bezel removed. ![]() Nice crystal shot! ![]() Bezel snapped back on awaiting the new insert ![]() Ahhhh, all done! ![]()

Without your bezel insert in - the crystal looks like a SD crystal

Beautiful watch from a fellow GMT Owner. It looks like it is well cared for and I like the new bezel.

Now you have 2 GMT's, so $95 seems like a good price to double your collection.

I just noticed the etched coronet is visible in the last pic. Pretty cool!

I like it, I need some extra bezels. Damned if I'll change it myself, though.

Great shots Jeff, and just shows why this is one of the most versatile references in the stable.

I've seen a couple of posts about changing the bezel inserts including a couple with instructions. I'm wondering from those that have done it a few times how hard they are to change. How much risk is involved with this?

Lovely watch, I have a Coke GMT on order from my local AD. It is back at Rolex at the moment being checked over. It was an unused prize in a competition and sat in a safe before being returned to the dealer totally unworn. Apparently Rolex need to check it over before issuing a brand new warranty.
I cannot wait for it to arrive but your pic will keep me going for a bit longer! These watches are very rare new in the UK. What technique did you use to swop the bezels Jeff? Cheers, PeterT |
