i think it's extremely difficult to find a limited edition at list without being well connected.. perhaps with the factory even, not an AD

anyway check your pm bro, this might help

a little mod help?

not really a 'next' watch, but MeanMachine the other day put this idea in my head by talking about the GMTII and now i wish to get the blue/red pepsi bezel
anyone know if it's an easy change to fit it?
any idea on price and availability?

here is my coke gmtii, and i'm thinking a little 'branding' modification can do my pocket some good for the time being

^Ali, the bezel insert change is very straight-forward, just make sure you get a genuine Rolex pepsi bezel and not some aftermarket piece with laminated numbers or any kinda junk like that.

Was it the rust between the case and crystal at 2 o'clock that alerted you?

I don't know if you are looking for opinions but I think that red/black/red piece looks great. I think adding blue cheapens it some. I don't know any of the heritage. I'm just telling you that and the Black faced Daytona I've seen Labrit wear a few times are good looking faces.

Let's just say I've got a pretty keen eye my friend.

of course bro, all opinions and feedback is more than welcome this is what we're all here for
i LOVE my black/red dial, and i actually prefer it to the blue/red setup .. however, having had the watch for four (i think) years, i think this will add variety and soothe my inclination to get a whole new watch for the time being (or so i hope!) if the AD does not quote me a ridiculous price for it

here it is in action

I totally get the switching it up. Just like the red/black tons more.




Opinion guys
ROO Safari (so far the only ROO I thought would fit in my group) Brown strap with off white face seems cool to me.
or
Frank Mueller (50% less expensive) but I found a cool all black with a purple/silver face that has caught my eye now twice.
