Pepsi and black bezel insert for GMT
Hello,
Its been about half a year since I got my gmt. I wear it everyday and take it off only to sleep. Every time I pass by the jewelery stores on 5th Ave I notice the pepsi and black dial gmts and I'd like to get both bezels for my GMT. I called to many ADs and RSC in NY and neither is willing to sell me a bezel insert. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or should I look aftermarket? |

Try posting a WTB thread in the classifieds section of this forum. Tell them you want to buy a Pepsi bezel insert. Maybe somebody will PM you about a geniune insert they may have and want to sell. Best of luck.

Why won't RSC in NY sell you the part? They would sell it to you if you had your watch serviced there and they told you your old one needed to be replaced. Right?

Try popping your bezel insert off and sending it into RSC for service (say it got knocked off).
Or just contact the SF RSC...they don't take your original one back. |

From what I understand US-RSC's will replace the bezel to the one of your choice but you will have to relinquish the previous bezel. I find this policy to be quite disrespectful. Why does Rolex treat their largest market so poorly? I guess because they can. I have a black/black and have been considering a switch to Pepsi but really I don't want to have to send in my watch.
