Guys after all the hype over the new Pepsi gmt Iv been looking at the 16710 and have falling in love with the faded bezel , what’s your favourite ?

On a Rolex the green ceramic, I prefer it to the blue. Otherwise the AP ceramic finely brushed bezel, and BP FF sapphire crystal.

to me it is about the bezel action not the bezel material.

the subc has the best action ive ever felt.

Timing bezel.

Green ceramic on Sub. Fluted is my classic Rolex bling choice.

If you're only referring to the bezel action that offers the highest amount of preciseness and performance with that really sweet industrial racheting clicks and no bezel interplay whatsoever, then the undisputed champion in my book is the German watchmaker brand, Damasko ( bezel constructions patent pending )

Black Daytona bezel and dial screams elegance and class. Best Rolex IMO.

That's easy

For me it’s the aluminium Pepsi, no question ( not the ceramic Pepsi which is a pale shadow of the original) . It’s so distinctive and uniquely Rolex. And it’s the look that attracted me to Rolex in the first place.

The bezel that launched a thousand Rolex fans? I think so.

A nice black, faded GMT bezel insert. You won't see one of them everyday.

I'm down with the 16710 Aluminum bezel. It's not the original - the original was Bakelite and closer in colors to the new cerachrome bezels. But the aluminum inserts are the ones with which I most closely identify the GMT BLRO and the one I love.

My preference for the bezel colors is new and bright. Vibrant. I could get behind a faded bezel if it was new when in my possession and faded while on my own wrist. But otherwise I'm all for shiny new, no patina.

Absolutely stunning vibrant colors but personally still can’t get past the mini winding crown. Looks way to small and, for me, was always a deal breaker.
