It's just missing a TT president bracelet now.

Unclean,in the old days it would have been to the stake.

Now if it were a polar with the black bezel making the 'Oreo' then i would appreciate it.

Is it not worth just buying a 16710 Coke in the first place?

OP, cool looking watch. Not sure about the cost involved in sourcing the parts and labor to achieve this. Can you share that info?

For the cost of achieving this to get a Pepsi look, I would just keep the Exp II and buy a homage watch Steinhart or what not.

Looks like the job was done well. Even if the bezel doesn't turn, neither does the OEM bezel. Now you've got some color! Not my Rolex; but a Rolex nonetheless.

doesn't look bad at all

As long as you are happy with it. That's all that matters.

The 16570 case does not have a hole for the click spring to the GMT bezel insert for bi-directional rotation, so either this GMT insert is just spinning around the 16570 case or it is fixed. Either way; this mod is not functional - other than pure aesthetics.

You can drill it in a minute.

the hole for the click spring is not in the case but in the retaining ring of the bezel, hence no need to drill a hole in the case. the mod is reversible, a 2 minute change actually reverts it to explorer. there are only 3 things differentiating an explorer II froma 16710. 1. the rotating bezel, 2 the dial 3. the number model. case, bracelet movement hands crystal etc are basically the same. but the price is miles apart.

Where did you get the retaining ring of the bezel?? Someone knows?

Thanks!
