Well, I decided not to buy another one and had the watchmaker change the bezel insert. Just got it back and it's fantastic!

I'm going with Coke for a while and maybe get a Pepsi also in the future.
Here are the before and after pictures!:

I love the coke, enjoy.

Looks fantastic.

LOVE it!

JediRolex · 9 November 2008, 10:57 AM

Cool, I have a quick question. Do you have to track down an authentic bezel in order to have a watch maker swap it out? I see a lot of cheap bezels on ebay that are obviously not original. Not trying to be nosey I am just curious about the process.

The coke bezel is authentic from the watch maker!

Good move a bit of colour makes the world of diffrence

Spy · 10 November 2008, 12:59 AM

Great choice, just the Pepsi to finish the set off !

My favourite casual insert is the Pepsi as I think it goes well with Jeans.

HDHNTER · 10 November 2008, 01:02 AM

Very nice

DATEJUSTSS · 10 November 2008, 09:37 AM

Bravo man. I'm wanting a GMT-II real bad these days.

JimC · 10 November 2008, 04:22 PM

I purchased mine as a Coke (and I'm a Coke guy) but have just switched to the Pepsi bezel, and it's a new watch.

Looks good, congrats! Thanks for the pics. :D

yannis · 10 November 2008, 04:26 PM

This watch is a legend! Nice pics too man!

rolex_addict · 10 November 2008, 04:37 PM

you have a new look now! try the pepsi next!

Z-Sub · 10 November 2008, 05:38 PM

thanks for the support. I love to get the Pepsi which is great on weekend.
I went to a formal event with a dark Charcoal colored suit and I found a tie with mainly dark red color and matched the Coke perfectly. Should have taken a picture with the watch showing....

JimC · 10 November 2008, 06:07 PM

That sounds like it was most appropriate. Sure would have liked to see pics...
