Does anyome know if it's possible to put a GMT's pepsi bezel on a classic LV? What do you think about it?

If it's a 16710 GMT insert, I believe it's the same size.
Check out Larry's thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=49732 I also think this topic's been covered before. Check out Larry's response in post #13. And if Larry says so, then it must be so!  http://rolexforums.com/showthread.ph...ght=LV%2BPepsi Hope this helps.

Whoa... Potential green bezel on a GMT? Pepsi on a Sub? The possibilities make my head spin!

The ceramic bezels and the aluminum ones have totally different hardware.

To the OP....It will fit but I don't know why you'd want to.....A minute bezel on a 24 hour watch and dial and a 24 hour bezel on a Sub...?? I'm all for mods,but other than colour combo I can't see the allure....Just IMO of course...

no offense, but that looks like a bad china-town special with the wrong bezel on it. Hell if you're going to go that route, you might as well pick up the multicolored sub inserts for sale on ebay.

I have to agree with Justin. Looks aside the GMT bezel doesn't have a function on the Sub. Very unlike Rolex tradition.
Same of course with the Sub's dial on a GMT.
