16710 Bezel differences Coke/ Pepsi

Hi all,
I have a 1999 'Swiss only' 16710 with a Coke bezel , I'm considering picking up a Pepsi bezel to compliment it, the bezel I have has graced numbers, all the pepsi bezels I'm looking at , do not. This is probably an obvious Rolex amateur question but if someone could indulge me and give some info on bezel inserts, i'd be grateful.
Thanks!
Andy

When you say graced numbers do you mean numbers with serifs?

16710 bezels of a certain age will have serifs (pre-early 2000s), whereas a separate OEM Pepsi bezel is most likely going to be a service bezel, which would be san serif.
