The different hue's are cool, people still bleach inserts and it's silly as its very obvious who did!

Nothing says Rolex like a faded Pepsi bezel. The Pepsi and rootbeers fade the best, the others not so much and this is coming from a 16753 owner

A faded Pepsi Rocks
A wearer of one of these knows exactly what they have an why they have it.
It's a real Rolex wearers watch.

Ha. Found my input. Well. I bought this very same watch back and sold the insert. Lol. Insert is with a friend of mine but watch and original insert back with me where it will stay.

The red has faded a lot more than the blue on my bezel.

Just wondering, normally how long would the bezel insert colors faded? I'm getting a 16710 no pin hole very soon, can't wait to switch the bezel insert to Pepsi.

The red has turned very light pink, while the blue is a deep indigo. These really fat ones were from the early 60s, as far as I know.

One of mine (I have six of them , all have different shades of patina…).






Michel I am looking for a heavily faded blue with cherry red. Wondering if you had one of those. Can you post pics of your inserts? You must have a great collection.

Here are a few inserts that I have put together the past several years. From fuchsia to orange to magenta, they are all good. Lately, I've started to see a demand for the inserts where the red has turned an orange color - which is one that you do not see very often.

The red on my bezel had faded to a sort of bronze color.
