I was on my way home from work today and suddenly began missing my black GMT. I've been sporting the Pepsi bezel for almost 2 months and haven't even considered swapping to the black insert... until now! It was weird, I couldn't wait to get home to perform the swap. Here's a quick wrist shot immediately after the facelift.

Ahhhh... I'm sure Ed will be very happy.
That watch looks fantastic with either bezel, a different personality with each one!

I like black, but what about red/black?

Although Rolex didn't make red/black for the 1675 or 16750, I need a red/black for my GMT.

Anyway, stay tuned to this same bat channel, same bat time next week.

Blue/red, black, or red/black, it's like 3 watches in 1 and the GMT. More bang for your buck than a ceramic bezel, now if I can just figure out a way of getting that new cal.3186 movement into my old 1675 case.

The Pepsi is still my favorite, but sometimes you gotta switch it up!

I will refrain from saying I told you so, Jeff. Nah, I won't refrain. I told you so.

To be honest I wish I didn't have both inserts.

I'm always torn between the two. If I only had one color I wouldn't have the option.

You can always sell the Pepsi bezel or give it away, or just toss it in the trash where it belongs anyway. Then you won't be torn.

See how simple the solution is?

How easy is it to swap out the bezel?

If my memory's correct, you originally swapped from a black insert to black/red. Am I correct?

Yeah, but the things you would do to your watches are not fit for a family forum like this one.
