Is this a 16750

Is this a 16750? It started as a Pepsi bezel and when that wore out over the past 30 yaers it was replaced with the Coke bezel.

1. Its not mine. It is a judge's daily wear for the past 30 years.
2. It originally came with a pepsi bezel but that was replaced when it wore out.
3. It came with that bracelet. Not the more common Oyster.
4. I hoped the Rolex experts could ID by photo.

The insert is not genuine. The dial appears to be the first version of the glossy dial for the GMT 16750 missing the word "DATE" after OYSTER PERPETUAL." Circa 1984.

Yes that is an aftermarket bezel insert for two reasons: the 16750 was never available with a Coke insert. They only came with black or Pepsi inserts. And, as stated before it has the infamous hooked 2 which is a common item with aftermarket inserts.
