I have a GMT Master II (116710) with a black bezel and prefer the Pepsi bezel. Will Rolex sell and install one for me? I see them for sale online but I assume most are fakes.
Thanks

They won’t , I’m afraid. They would only replace it with your original color combination , if damaged.

You could try and find it through other dealers though: I’ve seen some pop up here and there for exorbitant prices. You’d also have to find a watchmaker comfortable with replacing it as it’s not as easy as with the previous 16710 generation.

EDIT- here’s a link of a genuine BLNR insert for sale…pricey!

I just stopped by my local AD yesterday and bought a Coke bezel for my Pepsi 16710. Not sure if it can be done with 116710

No Rolex won’t do this. I would recommend selling your 116710 and getting the Pepsi, even if you were able to somehow pull off the bezel swap it would look pretty bad with the green GMT hand

Aluminium inserts yes no problem and quite cheap to replace, as for ceramic inserts expensive and Rolex will only replace colour to original as when bought.

I have on very rare occasion, bezel inserts in ceramic pop up on eBay. There are a lot of Fugazi ones on there, but on the occasional lunar eclipse they will show up. Expect to pay a lot though.

Rolex will not put a ceramic pepsi insert on a 116710. You wold need to purchase a BLRO.
