Pepsi Bezel
I have a 'modern' GMT Master II SS and would like to get a Pepsi bezel swapped in. Is this a reasonable idea in the NYC area?

Not possible regardless of location. If you mean to say you have a 116170 with ceramic black bezel...A Pepsi colored bezel does not exist in ceramic.

If your GMT has a ceramic bezel, you are out of luck. Maybe share a pic or a model number?

He did say modern, so I imagine most are thinking he has a GMTIIC.

Is it absolutely not possible to put the pepsi insert, not bezel, on the new GMTC? Is the insert size different?

It's not just the insert size... the entire watch is different (16710 vs 116710)and neither the bezel nor the insert, or any of their parts are interchangeable in any way..

I looked and the OP says he has a ceramic as of October. So, sadly, the answer is no, it can't be done.
