Past & present gmt's
New pick up on Tuesday the new 116710BLNR, and I havent taken it off yet! The 16750 is getting jealous
 I went from Panerai to these 2 GMT's within the last month and I think these 2 pieces are going to be with me for a long time to come  The next project is turning the 16750 into a Pepsi  BTW has anyone here changed out there black insert to a pepsi on thier own? I have watched some videos on You Tube and they make it look very easy, but I just dont want to jack anything up on it  Anyway back to work I guess  Chris |

Just get a few more and you wont need to swap bezels
I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like tears... in... rain. Time... to die... |

Yes, it was
very easy to swap out. Just keep in mind that the spring is called a spring for a reason: it jumps. It's right across 10, 11, and 12. That's the only thing I would keep mind eyes on. And remember the masking tape. Other than that, it is so easy that I felt embarrassed afterward. Good luck!
P.S.: if you want me to change it for you, I would be happy to. Just mail it to me, return postage paid, of course. It will take me about two minutes to change the insert. The return of the watch is what will take some time, typically 18 months. But, you will have a swapped out insert. Now, how great is that?

Love it. I have a 16710 with all the bezel colors but can't seem to move away from the look of Pepsi.
