I see , but nvr mind abt what bezel is it, cos bezel can just buy and changed. So I am not really worried abt it.. Anyway the black dial match with the rest of my watches so it looks good when 3 are aside. lol

If the pepsi insert is changed to black @ RSC, will RSC sapu your pepsi insert?

Yes, RSC regulations to keep it so that market will not flood with sub-standard (used) parts. So, not wise to change if still fresh, unless you really sick of it...

guess those were the older pieces of 16700... mine was A series . I notice the one in the forum was much older.

Any expert care to share ?

I am not surprise A series 16700 exist, but it may be cosmatic in the outlook but fitted with new movt, this is same case as latest M series Exp II that are all fitted with 3186 movt, as 3185 movt is no longer in production.

The reason why I said 16700 only comes in pepsi bezel is because I read this from the famous website "The GMT in Transition"

Here is the following quote from the site:

"Also, it appears that the 16700 was only offered with the Pepsi bezel insert to distinguish it from the GMT-II..."

Yes, the GMTI is 'A' series which I think it is produced around 2000-2001 and the GMTII is 'P' series which I believe is produced around 2001-2002.

Hi Bros,

GMT was introduced in 70's

GMT II was introduced in 1983

GMT IIc was introduced in 2006

I thought my 'A' series 16700 GMT come in only Blue/Red Bezel???

Although the bezel can be replaced , but does the one with the original black bezel 16700 hold more value?

For local use a 16700 would be more practical with the quick set date. Congrats!

Lets say if I miss this deal, which one is easier to find again in the market? 16700 or 16710?
