I just had my AD install a new pepsi bezel insert on my old GMT. Mine was so faded, it made the watch look much older (it is 24 yeards old). The new bezel is beautiful, so bright and deep colors. Makes me wonder why I havent done this before. Now I'm considering doing the same thing with my sub no date. It's only about 12 years old (U serial), but I'll bet the final result would be as attractive. Money well spent IMHO.

forgot to mention, I got the dealer to let me keep the original insert. I'll toss it in the box with the extra links and papers. I dont know why though, I'll never sell it.

Maybe because all the new inserts will be ceramic?

That is one of the beauties of the aluminium inserts, they can be easily changed for less than $100.
