Does anyone here know if the aluminium bezel insert can also peel off it's anodized color? I know the color can fade over time especially if the watch is often subjected to direct sunlight, but can the color layer be peeled off?

I don't think so.

NO, I don't think so either

Sure!

That is because it does not peel off

The bezel coloring isn't something that's "attached" to the metal, therefore it can't be peeled off. I don't know how else to explain it.

Yeah it's a good enlightenment.

And I'm sure as another perfectionist in this forum, you are wondering about the same question as I am, aren't you?!

It is anodized which is a chemical process. Once a reaction takes place, there are no "layers" like an old painted house.

Notice the carabiners on the right -- that's basically a pepsi bezel GMT.
