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!

Inserts should be available from Rolex in the UK inserts cost around £45 or less.

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.

This.
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.
