I have a question. I have a Submariner with date (16610) I bought new in 1999. I want to change the bezel insert only. I like the GMT II Pepsi insert and was wondering if it will fit my Sub. Thanks

iflyem1 · 21 December 2011, 07:35 AM

Anyone?

The bezel insert size for the 16610 is 30.7mm Inside Diameter and 37.65mm Outside Diameter.

The bezel insert size for the 16700/16760/16710 is 30.7mm ID and 37.65mm OD.

Does that answer your question?

The part number for the Red/Blue insert with white numbers is 315-16750-6

Yes it does. Thanks................. Now to get one and plug it in so to speak.

MoBe · 21 December 2011, 12:32 PM

Good luck and lets have a photo when it`s done.

Absoultely!!!!!

It will fit, and has been done.

There's a few pics around here somewhere.....
Looks a little odd if you ask me, but hey, it's your watch to do as you please!

Did you buy the one in the for sale section?

iflyem1 · 22 December 2011, 10:19 AM

No, I bought it online at some website. I dont even know which one now. But anyway here is a pic of my watch with the Pepsi insert. I like it.

Sorry but that looks odd to me, a 24 hour bezel on a watch with no 24 hour hand doesn't work.

MoBe · 22 December 2011, 11:51 AM

If you`re happy then good for you.

I`ve thought of the possibility of this combination and now that I see it for real I`m not sure what to make of it but thanks for sharing the pics.

I know it looks odd but I like the color combo. If I can find a Sub insert with the same color combo I'll change it to that.

FYI. That insert is the commonly available $12.99 aftermarket insert. I hope you did not pay too much for it.

Since it appears you are cool with aftermarket inserts, there are "Pepsi (Red/Blue)" inserts out there that feature "Submariner" timer markers instead of the 24 hour markers.

There are both Coke and Pepsi aftermarket "Submariner" inserts over on [popular auction site]. Just search on "Submariner Insert" for all the colors of the rainbow.
