Changing out 16710 bezel

Hello everyone,

Had a question regarding switching bezels on my Coke 16710. If I walk into NY RSC, can they switch out bezels to a Pepsi bezel. How much woul the cost be if they do so? I'd also like to keep my original Coke bezel as well.

Thanks!

iirc, RSC wont allow you to retain your bezel. Its best to remove your bezel before going in.

Order via an AD. I recently put a new bezel in my 14060 to preserve the original...which obviously means I was able to keep both.

I guess they let you keep the original on a case by case basis? How much was the cost for the Pepsi bezel if you don't mind me asking?

I'm sure that you don't really mean the bezel but the insert..

You should be able to have it swapped at the RSC for under 75 bucks and yes, they will let you keep the old one if you ask, although I think they charge for it (like most core charges)..

I would absolutely love to be able to do this and keep my old bezel insert. It's just that the RSC in Toronto doesn't let you keep your old one. I hope it works out for you!

The bezel, probably not, if you mean the insert, they will. See my recent thread. Just got the pepsi and coke inserts for my newly acquired 16710

I forget the exact number but it's like $45 if you trade in your old insert or $75 if you want to keep your old one. I added a new Pepsi insert and kept my old one at RSC BH last year

If you don't want to give back your old insert, source the one you want and replace it yourself. I did this earlier this year. I've changed the insert a couple times since. It was intimidating the first time, but it's really not hard. If I can do it, you can do it.
