16710 BLRO Pepsi Bezel question
When the Rolex 16710 GMT-Master IIs were sold up until a couple years ago. . .were they differentiated any as to what color bezel they left the factory with?
For example, did the warranty card/paper, hang tag, or any other paperwork specifically indicate whether it came with a black bezel, black/red bezel, or black/blue bezel? I know you can swap bezels; I'm curious whether there is any traceability as to how the watch was originally configured and sold. thanks! Mark |

In the US there is indication of bezel colour on the paperwork. I can't elaborate further as they didn't bother doing it here.

I believe the suffix B in the paper work indicated Pepsi, while the suffix A indicated Coke.

I have seen green tags with the bezel codes included. You find the 16710 codes on this page:
