I have a Coke bezel on my GMT II. Interested in feedback on possible change to Pepsi:

- source for genuine Rolex insert?
- expected price range?
- DIY or send to watchmaker or Rolex?
- Any reasons not to swap?

Your input very much appreciated.

First, it's a 16710.

- source for genuine Rolex insert? A US AD will require a swap vs purchasing the insert outright. Purchasing from a trusted source [like some here on TRF] might be your only option. Buy the seller, as always.
- expected price range? Depends where you buy..
- DIY or send to watchmaker or Rolex? Depends on your skill level and confidence in doing the job.
- Any reasons not to swap? Some say too many swaps will wear down the lip holding the bezel. I've done it multiple times on my 16710 without issue.
