This is my only faded bezel. The red turned into a lightish pink. The blue is still a deep blue. I believe this bezel to be from ~1990

I also have a few non-faded ones: Pepsi, Coke and black.

GMT Pepsi has got to be one of the nicest looking watches that Rolex ever turned out......and this is coming from a 'dyed in the wool' Sub/SD guy! Find myself wearing one more often now than ever before.....superb watch!

Just curious, does everyone buy genuine Rolex inserts or aftermarket? Other than 'hooked 2' inserts, does it matter? I recently bought my first, a 16760. I'd like to get a Pepsi insert and maybe a few others. I've seen what is offered on the bay. Just want opinions by members here who have a lot more experience. Thanks.

Just go for original ones. Why ruin the experience with aftermarket crap?

Because I'd like to have a blueberry insert and not pay thousands for it?

I see, thought you'd just wanted to go for any faded bezel, plenty of them around.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my earlier post. I am looking for new inserts, not older faded ones. I like the faded look but would prefer to have the experience of it fading on my wrist over the years.

Just visit your AD and buy a new one then. Should cost about Eur 60.

No, sorry. In my opinion not worth one penny. I never would place such an aftermarket insert on one of my 1675´s.

Just my 2 cents.......
