Very nice! The Coke bezel that originally came with mine has the 'tailed' serif font and I prefer that look as it matches the date wheel font. Planning to get the them all in serifs eventually. For now I'm happy that my thirst for Pepsi has been 'quenched'

[QUOTE=mementomori1983;7858947]Update: Just stopped by my favorite SF watchmaker to pick up a pair of inserts for my 16710. Pepsi installed.
The Pepsi GMT look is just special, IMO. Colorful yet elegant and understated. Simply stunning.  QUOTE] What a beautiful shot !! Congrats on the watch and the insert game is on !! I love the GMT Pepsi, the contrast of black dial, blue and red is just

Thanks! Your GMT's are stunning and so is that Pepsi bezel. How long did it take to get that faded if you don't mind sharing? |

I just put in a NOS pepsi bezel insert from the black one and I can't get over how much it changes the watch in an awesome way!

Looking good my friend! Agree with the bezel swap. A NOS Pepsi has those rich colors which really make the watch come alive.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Or do other people find it easy? |

I'm all about crisp and bright. If my watch develops a patina it will be done on MY wrist.

Incoming 16710 GMT Coke!!
Update: I was able to source an absolutely beautiful Pepsi bezel for my GMT. Fat serif fonts with the tails, which I believe is period-correct for the production year range of this watch (late 90's). Best of all, the red half has faded into a very warm, pleasing pink color. This time I decided I'd pop the bezel myself. What a stunning result. Pleased to share with the TRF fam
