Pepsi ceramic insert available??

Does any knows if the Pepsi ceramic insert for the GMT II will be or is available for installation on any SS watch vs the WG? I guess the Ivory Tower is not ready to release a GMT Master II in SS with a ceramic Pepsi bezel as of yet???

It's not compatible with other models. Won't happen.

Funny. Some people claim it's the worst part of the watch while others want to buy to make believe. Go figure.

I believe that Rolex will (eventually) release either a SS Pepsi or perhaps more likely, a coke bezel to preserve the exclusivity of the Pepsi release. Rolex is a business and if they believe there is sufficient demand a SS version will be forthcoming. There is no way that Rolex will release their grip on replacement parts so even if the Pepsi bezel would fit the SS version, it would be unobtainable. Too bad they aren't in charge of our national security...

I bet it would look much better on a BLNR with the blue GMT hand. The green writing and GMT looks bad with the Pepsi imo.

Why are you so affirmative in this sentence ? I don't think it's the case, it have never been demonstrated.

True. Never been demonstrated. I'm just going off of what was stated by Rolex but I obviously can't confirm it nor has it been proven.
Not trying to come off like the Rolex authority....

Well I guess I will have to either wait until Rolex decides to make it available in the SS model, I am not enamored of the WG model. YG and SS models fan.
