What is the preferred bezel on a GMT Master II?
I see a lot of different bezels on the GMT Master. I think my favorite is the Batman.
But I am curious as to what others thing about the GMT Master bezels? Coke? Pepsi? Batman? Plain ole' black? I think those are the only options. I really, really want to like the Pepsi dial, but I just can't.. |

No need to force yourself to like a certain bezel, different strokes and all.
Pepsi is my favorite but don't dislike any. dP

I understand. I think it's just that I can see it's appeal, but can't see it on my wrist. It's very retro for sure.

Myself much prefer the aluminium inserts as they are easily interchangeable and cost wise very cheap when compared to the very expensive slither of ceramic inserts.And as the 16710 has a much better interchangeability you can have whatever insert you want to wear at any time suppose my favourite would be blue/red.

When I compare the modern GMT Master ll I think the all black bezel is a classic that will outlive the test of time. And I'm sorry but the Batman version has a toy like look to it that is just not my thing.
The all Black can be worn either with a formal tuxedo or a pair of shorts at the beach and look great in any situation. Now don't get me wrong I also will always have a special place in my heart for the aluminum bezels of the previous generations. But until Rolex decides to do some kind of Anniversary Edition with a Pepsi bezel of some sort and I mean a stainless steel one, I will remain true to my black bezel to GMT Master ll C |

I like the Pepsi on my 16700 GMT and if I were to buy a 16710 then I would get the coke bezel personally.

Difficult decision if I had to pick just one, so I went with black. Poll should have had an option for "all of them"

For me, it is the Coke bezel. I'm actually surprised it is trailing behind all the others, I thought it was more popular!

The red/black is a tad more formal than the red/blue. Maybe partly because the red in the latter is more bright - and the former a tad more burgundy. I like both - and the all black insert less.

I voted for the BLNR as its the only GMT in my collection, but my first ever Rolex was a Coke bezel 16710 which is my favourite old school bezel insert.
