faded GMT bezel

Hello everyone...I'm new to the forum. I was wondering if it was common for the GMT bezel to fade? Does this happen to anyone else? I have the "pepsi" bezel and the red is not looking so red anymore. Any response appreciated and opinions on how it can be fixed.

Thanks.

I don't want to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol IS a solution!

Hey welcome to TRF
And the fading of bezel is common with time. You need not to worry whether is it only the case with you. Its a usual thing
