Change bezel in the GMT?
So I'm starting to like the coke GMT in pictures but I haven't been able to try one on. What is involved with swapping out the insert if I get one and find I don't like it? Is that a RSC change or can a local AD do that sort of thing?

It can be done quite easily yourself if you're up to it....
Otherwise, you'd need to find an AD or watchmaker to do it for a small fee! Here is a link to a DIY posted on the reference library section of TRF. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=49732 Best of luck!

Easy to do at home with the old inserts. Very easy to do. The DIY link above is awesome.

I don't think I would have the stones to DIY that. It does look pretty simple but I'm all thumbs with that kind of stuff. Especially with some nerves going. I'd have springs flying and the wife yelling in the background.
