Where to Buy Older GMT Bezels?
Hi, I have a 16710 Pepsi and am interested in adding a Coke bezel…where would be the best place to look? I assume ADs can’t help since the watch is out of production? Thanks!

They are often listed here in the classifieds under Rolex parts and accessories.

Ebay sells real and aftermarket ones- the aftermarket ones looks just as the Original- snap on - I can not tell the difference.

I wouldn’t buy overpriced inserts from sellers elsewhere. They are approx 50 quid from any rsc.

Just purchased a bezel insert from the RSC in West LA directly about 2 months ago. It's not £45 (~$61 USD). They charged me for buying it, mounting it, and giving my original bezel back. The last two charges, ridiculous… Actual cost $171.00 or £126. It was however, not for a 1675/3 but the later 16753 version so they should have what you are looking for. I was Ok with the newer version because I did not want to source a period correct version on EBAY or some other site for $600 (worn) - $3000 (supposedly new old stock)—that too seems ridiculous for a flimsy bit of aluminum.

Bezel was £45, but Rolex have a new policy now where they charge to fit any bezels they supply (even though I insisted I could do it myself). I paid around £130 inc VAT but they did let me keep my old one. |
