Got an envelope from Steve Mulholland...

So today when I got home, there was an envelope in my mailbox from Steve Mulholland. What could be inside? Its a beautifully faded Pepsi bezel for my 16760 GMT II!! After reading Jocke's Tutorial on bezel changes, off comes the bezel. Pop out the Coke bezel, and insert the Pepsi bezel, and snap the whole thing back on and have the look of a second watch! And the first wrist shot as a Pepsi GMT II! Special thanks to Steve Mulholland for sending me this great looking Pepsi bezel. Steve is truely a class act and a great asset to TRF!!

Still too scared to change my LV bezel to black after someone said they popped their crystal off doing it

I did not look that hard, but I did not see anything that stood out. I am just really happy to have it, and how easy it was to change it.

Any package from Steve is a good package! Nice insert!
So is it really that easy to swap out the insert. I want a pepsi insert for mine and know of one, but I am nervous about the swap and my local (in town) AD is pathetic ... seriously. They won't even change an insert.
