Penny for your thoughts on these Pepsi bezels
Considering purchasing one of these (label them TOP/BOTTOM).
Both D serials, but different bezels. Can you comment? Could one of them be a replacement/service bezel? If so, what year would that bezel be from. Yes, I will reach out to sellers, but would like some background info first in case I get push back. I believe the top is period correct for the D serials. Happy Friday

The aluminium inserts were made to be easily changed on watches like the 16710, get all 3 inserts then 3 different watches for very little money, insert cost from Rolex themselves around $75 or less

First insert looks correct for a D serial. Second looks like a fake serif insert.

Calling fake on 2nd one too. 22 should be aligned to the curvature of the inner circle.

Are we certain the top insert is genuine? It may be the picture angle, but looks like “hooked 2” — especially on the 22. EDIT — okay, I think it may be just an odd angle / photo on the first one.
The second one I concur, that’s not what a serif bezel should look like. |

I’ve never had a n eye for this stuff honestly.
My advice to the OP is to buy the seller first. All your worries about authenticity will be answered and you’ll have a worry free ownership experience

If it's not a current watch, a conversation about horrible AD's, waiting lists, bundling, or grey market dealers it will have little attention in this forum. You already know this.
