in case our OP is not aware of the historical precedent for the bezel colours, here is my Bakelite 6542 from 1958....

The fun of five digits gmt is that you can always buy the extra Pepsi and all black insert and change it when you like. Or perhaps your wife could buy the jubilee bracelet or rubber strap to go with the coke gmt.

Below is my faded Coke gmt. and one day your wife Coke insert many be faded like mine too :).

I think it varies for different RSCs. Price is higher for the new one if you want to keep the original insert.

In my case, I removed the original faded insert and just went into the RSC in NYC and said I needed a new insert. (Sorry, Rolex, a white lie, I know!)

Bringing this thread back from hibernation. This thread has convinced me to put a Coke on a 16700.
