If I got a V serial GMT-II Pepsi or Coke, could I get a non-ceramic black bezel from an earlier GMT-II? The point of this would be to avoid the larger numbers, the maxi dial, and the "bling".

Sorry, I do not know what a V is.

If it is a non ceramic, then all bezels are interchangeable.

If it is a ceramic, it has a different structure and it is not possible.

GMT I & II are similar

Isn't V the new serial letter for this year?

Lion · 3 March 2009, 10:01 AM

Yes, I believe the V serial number is for 2008. Also it's my understanding that all the bezel inserts for GMT's (16710) will fit!!!

i think mretzloff are saying fitting a GMT-ll bezel in GMT-llc.
the answer is , NO!

there are no 'V' series for GMT-ll (16710)

yep.

The 16710 (non-ceramic) GMT production stopped at M serial.

Nods · 3 March 2009, 07:09 PM

My GMT (ceramic) is an 2008 model and the serial No starts with V, if that helps.

The ceramic bezel/insert is a whole nuther animal. Won't work on the 16710.

All three colored inserts for the 16710 are interchangeable.

The important point is to make sure the insert is for a sapphire crystal. Inserts for acryllic have a different I.D./O.D.
