Bezel Swap
I found a factory bnib pepsi bezel on the web and swapped out my all black for the pepsi look. Found the tutorial on TZ and it worked like a charm. No pics yet but I am most pleased with the look of my GMT II.

Boy oh boy, I'm gonna have to get a pepsi bezel and the black/red too. I should be able to swap easy enough.
Great pic Mike! dP

The gmt is suppose to have a pepsi. I am sure it looks at home on your watch.

Congrats on the pepsi. I tried the insert swap twice. First time, no problem. Second time, I scratched a lug. If Nick or anyone else comes up with an appropriate bezel remover I'd have no problem changing the inserts at will.
Here's some pics of mine. Enjoy the pepsi, dP

I checked with an AD today for a Pepsi bezel for the GMT I gave to my son. He's quoting me $110 US. Sound about right?

Yeah, that's about right. I've heard guys pay as low as $75 (some time ago) and as high as $125 recently Be sure they're letting you keep the one on the watch now and you're not trading it toward the new one

Thanks, I had read the $70 figure on here somewhere and thought I might be getting gouged. I'll be sure to ask about keeping the old one. I think after reading Nick's comments, I'll let the AD do all the changing.

I just paid $100.00 USD at an AD for a Red and Black, they are ordering it and they agreed to let me keep my orginal Black one.
