I don't know what the model info states on the GMT II's but my 16750 certificate (1988) has only the punched serial number with no model information. That model was available with either pepsi or black bezel.

Been there done that. I originally did not like the green, but loved the maxi dial so I wore a black insert. After some time, I decided to put back the green insert. I am never going back to the black. I splash of color really grew on me.

Great idea Johny. After three months of wearing the 16610LV with the original green bezel insert I installed a black insert and lemme just say the black insert with the maxi dial gave my LV a whole new look of class and classic. In January I will switch to the green insert and see how long it stays on. What can I say, love both the green and black bezel inserts!

that will be interesting. its great being able to change over so easily. the black bezel insert and the maxi dial make it look like a classic maxi dial sub from the past. all we need now are lugholes...
