This was a great write-up; I recently bought one and it should arrive tomorrow. Thanks for all the hard work in posting the information on the 16700. Mine is an E series.

Better late then never....
I realised when reading back through this thread that, some 10 months ago, I said that I had a 16700 incoming.
A bit late in the day, but here's the one and only wrist-shot! 'A' serial, 'swiss' only. Drop-dead gorgeous! It got worn for the photo and has remained in it's box ever since. Can't bring myself to wear a mint example that still has the caseback sticker intact and a bracelet as stiff as the day it was made. Sad eh :-( ![]() |

![]() A beautiful example. Strangely my E Serial still glows in the dark. Dimmer than my Luminova EXP II but good enough to read in bed at night. |

Can I ask how you tell what serial number the watch is? My 16700 is in the UK right now and it needs a service, so I can't tell what it is.

One more question if you don't mind. My GMT has a Pepsi bezel, would they fit in a service a new ceramic Pepsi if i asked them or do they like to keep them all genuine? I have also had thoughts of changing the bezel to black or black/blue for a change. I guess I could always change back to original if I wanted to. Any advice welcome. |

Thanks Power' I think I can afford to get a couple of different bezel inserts and I saw the web page on how to remove the insert properly so i might go for it. It will give the watch a completely different feel and look like a new watch each time i change. thanks again

The price of these sure seems to be on the rise over the last 5 yrs or so.
Mine came with the original black bezel, I then wore a coke for 4 yrs, and a Pepsi since last March. I think I like the coke the best.....but the Pepsi gets the most attention for sure. This is my most favourite watch and daily wear as I live in western Canada and work in Scotland. I also find it very comfortable to wear......great watches for sure!!

This was the first Rolex that I ever bought and I still own it. It's a Pepsi bezeled "A" serial. I recently sent it back to Rolex for service and have worn it sparingly since. It's so nice that I get unsolicited offers every time I wear it but it just doesn't seem right to sell your first Rolex. I have gone through several models but this one stays. It's such a special watch.

Hey all,
I just purchased a 16700 myself with the black bezel insert. I am thinking about going pepsi in the near future. I recently saw a number of people say that RSC sell the inserts for $40? Will they actually just sell you an insert without service? Any help is greatly appreciated! |

So it turns out RSC U.S. will not just sell me one here in the U.S. nor will any AD, anyone here willing to sell one of their pepsi bezel inserts, or could point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Dan |

I got one bezel insert from an AD in Canada.
The other from a watchmaker in Dallas. I assumed an AD could get them? You see them for sale here on the forum now and again.

I heard Rolex re-released the GMT Master II "Pepsi" but in white gold only ($30,000+). Do you guys think they'll make it again but cheaper in the future? I don't know if I should wait or buy a used one.
