I wear my 16700 black, but have been thinking of the Pepsi Insert as well, because I also have a Sub (they look similar). Before owning the Sub, definitely black.

I like both and switch when the urge strikes me. I do not think black when I think sub, because my bezel insert is blue!

Pepsi or Coke. I like the black but it makes the watch look more like a Sub

If both is not an option I guess I would go black if you don't have a black sub but pepsi is awesome too!

Pepsi. It is iconic and unique to the GMT.

Called SF Rolex Center and was advised that a coke insert would be $100 installed and they will keep my old insert. Is this the current price nowadays?

I got mine for $100CAD ~ $75USD. Take the bezel insert off first yourself or have it removed by an independent watchmaker.
Then, take it to RSC. They can't keep what's not there.
That way, I got to keep my old coke when I purchased a new pepsi.

BUT would there be a possibility they would deny service as it's missing a part??!

I guess one could lie and say it got 'lost'

I'm back with the black insert now. I think I will stick with this for a while now.

Coke

I voted black because I think the Pepsi clashes. I like the coke bezel best.

In twenty years, probably the fourth time I changed the insert. But then again, I only learned how to do it last year.

How about you?

I haven't yet. I just learned it very recently myself and just practiced taking bezel off and putting back on. Still trying to read up more on how often one can swap without it affecting bezel (warp or fit?) and insert (sounds like it can start to stretch?). Wondering at what point either starts to get compromised.
