what do you guys think?

I have changed a ceramic bezel myself. The old one just popped off out of the metal ring when I stuck a pin underneath it..... didn't shatter either. Try and get real parts not reproductions ones though. Stick it on with superglue or double sided tape (Not a good idea)

Obviously if genuine ceramic Pepsi parts were available I would rather buy them, however when I asked the question I assumed RSC would not sell just a bezel and this would be the only way to accomplish the Pepsi look short of buying it in white gold.

Please swat this idea out of your mind ASAP. It is a terrible idea to try to tinker with the ceramic bezel inserts. And imagine your watch with a green GMT hand and green text on the dial and blue/red bezel?

A magic marker would be a better, at least it would cost less

This really is a bad idea.

This is akin to marrying gorgeous woman with a beautiful face and transplanting a bulldogs face on her.

you are still going to have to acquire the dial with the GMT Master II in white writing and either a blue or red GMT hand it isn't worth it. Be better off flipping the LN and getting a BLNR or BLRO.
