Quick 16750 Question

Morning Team,

I'm about to pick up my 1982 16750 Pepsi, and really like the look of the black bezel. This is probably a basic question, but what's the best way to pick up a legitimate bezel? I know many will say Ebay, Chrono24, etc, but one buys the seller, and many selliing on those fora are unknown.

Could LAWW put one on? It would likely cost more, but it would be legit. Also, I'm not looking to trade or sell the Pepsi. I just want to be able to change up the look of the watch from time to time.

I look forward to any comments.

Best,
TA

Springer is your best bet and the 16750 looks great with a Black insert in it.

Where are you in Virginia? I know a person that could help you in Northern Va.

This is not a big deal to install. It is easier to establish a rapport with a local watch maker that could help you in the future. By the time you ship to LA and cost for that, it is a silly expense. For that matter, some AD's have WMs on site..
