If the new GMT came with a black and red bezel

If the new GMT had a ceramic black and red bezel and you could just swap your new GMT for it, would you? Or send it to RSC for a swap out of bezels? I think I might. I love my GMT, but there is just something about the red and black bezel. I would never buy an aftermarket product.

I am going the buy the GMT IIc, but if there were an alternative to buy it in r/b, I would only buy it in black.

if i were to buy a gmt, id buy the old style one, red second hand and metal bezel...
thats just me :D
Red/Black is very nice but just black also. I think i would buy the black one and also buy a r/b bezel and switch them every year or so (if thats possible)

I certainly don't miss my old red and black bezel. The red faded so bad it had to be replaced at every service and it scratched up very easily. I would wake up in the morning and there would be a new scrape across it and I would wonder where the hell did that come from? The new bezel looked great for about 3 years and then the fading would start to show. The ceramic is so much better. I really like the way the light plays off of the bezel, chapter ring,and band with polished center links. Nice looking watch. Worn it for nearly 3 months and only one close friend has noticed it. ---- Good !
