Coke bezel insert

[Idc0001]

Hi does anyone somewhere that will supply and fit a Coke bezel insert for my GMT master 16700. I tried Rolex and they said they can't because the 16700 didn't come with a Coke insert. Also tried David Dugan and watch club both wouldn't do it.

If you could get one from a wtb they are quite easy to swap yourself.

About 18 months ago I walked into Rolex St James and swopped my pepsi for a coke bezel there and then very straight forward- try calling them

Yes that what I thought. I called st James and they said because the 16700 was only sold with either a Pepsi or a black insert they can't do it. Only the 16760 and 16710 came with a Coke. He did say the Coke inserts would fit my watch but it's not something they would do

Did they allow you to keep the original insert?

Interesting. When I had the black bezel insert of my 16700 changed in February 2017, I mentioned to the technician when I called into RSC that presumably they would only swap for a Pepsi. He smiled and said something along the lines of "we are not that inflexible, what would you prefer coke or Pepsi?"

They do. I think they charge an extra £20 or something.

To the original poster, the inserts are relatively easy to change if you buy one yourself. I was nervous the first time I did it but it’s not difficult

That's interesting to know. Thank you.

Yes they returned the pepsi bezel to me

I have a black one to swap for my coke. I presume it's all explained on Utoob?

There’s probably lots of videos out there but I used the guide below:

You can always post here if you get stuck but it’s fairly self explanatory once you take it off. Only 4 parts.

Good idea.

I wish that guy had answered the phone when I rang!
