If I get a GMT Master II 16710 "Coke" can I purchase a "Pepsi" bezel to change the look every now and then?

Yes you can but it's a little more difficult here in America....see if your AD can order you one!!!

Thanks Lion...Yeah, I really like both looks and would like the flexability to change things up every now and then.

Right now I am deciding between a 2007 GMT Master II 16710 Coke or a new 116710 for my first Rolex. What do you think? The 07' Coke would be from a trusted dealer, in great condition, all paperwork, and a 1 year warranty.

I was leaning towards the Ceramic but I think there would be something worth while and classic about the 16710.

I would get the 16710 and then get a pepsi and a black bezel. I was able to get both the pepsi and black bezel for mine from an AD. He was really cool about. keep your eye out in the FS section, some of the sellers have them from time to time.

With just what I have seen and learned on here in the month I have been a member, I can't really imagine why I will ever buy again from an AD giving me a 5% discount and acting like its a big deal. YEA TRF!!

Ajbormann, of course the choice is your to make but I would buy the 16710 and purchase the other bezel inserts. For a GMT-IIc I like the TT version myself!!!

thanks Lion...i really like both bezels. I fly in the marine corps and right now I am in a squadron thats colors are red/black...so this will be kind of cool for now. After I move on to other things I will probably switch to the pepsi besel...I really like that one.

By then there might be a pepsi/coke ceramic out...that might be the time to go that route.

thanks!
