Here's the issue...

MISREPRESENTATION...!

The "Pepsi" Bezel Insert(part #315-16750-6) is...NOT genuine Rolex...!!!
ALSO...it is certainly NOT meant for 16760 GMT Master II(Fat Lady)...!
BOTH extra Bezel Inserts won't fit the 16760 GMT Master II watch...!!!

The "Pepsi" Bezel Insert in particular...
is an aftermarket replacement generic insert from a Swiss maker(with certain higher degree of quality)...
commonly found available in eBay auctions...
listed by eBay Seller - Clark Watch Parts ...a.k.a eBay Seller - nostalgia-2000.

IF one were to look closer at ALL the fonts "2"...they are NOT correct...
n the "Triangle" marker at 12 o'clock...is NARROWER.

Orchi hopes...the Moderators can be alerted to consider taking appropriate
actions...to tackle the issue at hands...TQ very much...!

P/S:

Plenty examples of GENUINE ROLEX Bezel Inserts for GMT Master II...
can be found right here in the TRF's main forum...itself.

I'll concur that the 2s don't look right. There is some variation in genuine Rolexes with the number 4, but those 2s look very wrong.

x2.

[Orchi]

Err buddies...here's the clear difference of the fonts "2" by comparing
the aftermarket fake...with genuine Rolex bezel insert...for GMT Masters.

The upper portion of "2" is wider than the lower portion of "2"...INCORRECT...FAKEEEE.

Also one would notice the clear difference in paint quality n finishing of
the Genuine Rolex bezel inserts...as compared with the DULL Aftermarket
ones...

Furthermore...one would also notice that the "Triangle" at the 12 o'clock position is NARROWER
on the Aftermarket bezel insert...FAKEEE...as compared with the WIDER "Triangle" of
Genuine Rolex bezel insert.

"PEPSI" Blue/Red Aftermarket bezel insert for 16750 GMT...FAKEEEE.
(note: The ALL Black bezel insert...is GOOD)



Genuine Rolex "PEPSI" bezel insert for 16750 GMT...



"PEPSI" Blue/Red Aftermarket bezel insert for 16750 GMT...FAKEEEE.



Genuine Rolex "PEPSI" bezel insert for 16760 GMT...




"PEPSI" Blue/Red Aftermarket bezel insert for 16750 GMT...FAKEEEE.



Genuine Rolex "PEPSI" & "COKE" bezel inserts for 16710 GMT...

[Orchi]

Err buddies...for further comparisons...of the fonts "2"...between
the Aftermarket FAKEEEE bezel insert...n the Genuine Rolex bezel insert...
for GMT Master.


"PEPSI" bezel insert is Aftermarket...FAKEEE.

For comparison...

The TOP picture of 16760(arrived about 3 months ago in 2008)...
that was fitted with the Aftermarket FAKEEEE bezel insert...
with INCORRECT "2"...n NARROWER "Triangle".

The BOTTOM pictures of 16760(same watch) has the CORRECT n Genuine Rolex
bezel insert...fitted by RSC...

[Orchi]

Err buddies...here's a peek at the RSC service bill for the replacement of
incorrect Aftermarket bezel insert...
to the correct Genuine Rolex bezel insert for 16760 GMT Master II...

P/S: Previous pic deleted to prevent possible fraudulent use of pic...or its details.

[2careless]

224 ringgit? wow that's cheap...

So, I go buy a aftermarket insert, swap out my original, take it to RSC and replace with genuine.
Nice way to get a replacement insert

[Orchi]

Err buddies...arising from Orchi's initial posting in this thread here...
The Seller has withdrawn the picture showing the EXTRA "Pepsi" insert...
in the relevant auction listing in eBay...

The Seller has also since...amended the listing description to read as...

ROLEX 16760 Fat lady GMT II in excelent condition still under waranty from second time around in LA . Comes with original box and manual and Rolex Canada service papers and 1 extra black bezel inserts.
can ship from The USA or Canada

The Seller is wise to do so...
It also marks the trait of a sincere Seller...

Also...in the related FS Ad posted in the TRF's market...by the same
Seller...the proactive TRF Moderator has made a good call...to cancel
the relevant FS Ad ...because the Seller would not be able to make
the necessary amends to the FS Ad...as it was way passed Edit Time...
allowed by TRF...

Orchi hopes the Seller would opt for the right alternative...to re-list the
watch for sale...without offering the EXTRA aftermarket "Pepsi" bezel
insert...along with the attractive n reasonably priced package...
of 16760 GMT Master II...

Case closed...!
