Pepsi GMT wanted...
Sold my GMT c at the tail end of last year.

I am now in the market for a Pepsi GMT. Does anyone here regularly change the bezel insert as I love the idea of being able to chop and change...

Feel free to post some Pepsi wrist shots too!

I'm planning on changing to coke when autumn arrives, which will be soon...

I have owned my 16710 for a couple now and I have changed the insert from coke to pepsi the first day I got the watch, I never changed it back because the pepsi looks better IMO.

Jocke's bezel insert changing tutorial was very useful!

Is it a once a year change Puffy?

I don't know what the ramifications would be of swapping on a more regular basis....

I'm looking for an insert: a pepsi colored one at that. I have the black and coke, but need the pepsi to make my collection complete. I've worn the coke for four-years, and now need a pepsi change, for a while.

Another TRF member just says "NO!" to ceramic! Be careful its a slippey slope down that camels nose to the dark side of the force (vintage)!

Don't really matter what GMT 11 it could have the black insert you can buy inserts quite easy in the UK.And St James London will even change them for you although not bought a GMT insert.Last insert I bought there for a SD cost me £26 fitted but that was around 18 months ago.The inserts are quite easy to change just take your time there is a Tutorial in forum.

Thanks for the advice and shots gentlemen - truly stunning watches.
Those faded bezels and shiny fresh ones all look equally beautiful.

The hunt is on...

I purchased a Pepsi with the additional inserts, but my husband is yet to change that Pepsi insert out. The Pepsi insert looks amazing as you can see from all the pics here. It's also nice to have options.
