An orange, aftermarket bezel insert - interesting for sure.

The one I used at least, is a genuine Rolex Root Beer bezel. It was ordered via my technician at a cost of Euro 30.



It fits with the leather strap quite well, but I had tried other combinations as well. But were not that good.

Put the pepsi or coke better. Rootbeer is for tutone or gold not full stainless.

Hank, as you see, I have some inserts, and keep changing from time to time. I agree, the pepsi + the oyster is the most desirable, I also like it most. Thanks,
