GMT 16710 - where to buy a Pepsi bezel?

Hello everyone. I've been a TRF member for some time now but have never posted before.

I have been looking to buy a GMT 16710 with a Pepsi bezel, but have just found a Coke model in very good condition. My question to you guys is: if I go ahead and buy the Coke how difficult would it be to find a Pepsi bezel to have it replaced? Would I be able to buy it directly from Rolex in NY? If not what is my best bet to find one?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Worst comes to worst you can swap from an AD, but they will take the coke. I say go for it. bezels aren't too hard to come by.

You can also try to buy at an auction. Antiquorum sometimes has those for sale

If you're in NY take it the Rolex Service Center there. $45 for a new bezel insert if you turn in the old one, $70 if you want the Coke returned to you. It takes a couple of hours when they do it because they pressure test the watch as well.

Thanks for the help.

Good to know the RSC in NY will do it for $70. I've seen inserts selling for $150-200 in the forum, so it seems that the RSC is the best choice, as I'll be in NY in a few months and can stop by then.

Thanks again. I'll post pictures if I go for it.

My AD let me buy the Pepsi without taking the coke. 75$ I think it was.
