i have a Pepsi 16710 I purchased earlier this year and I’d like to have a little play about with some various bezel inserts.
Just after a little advise on the 2 below, I know they state 16710 fitment but I always take these descriptions with a pinch of salt. Also do they look original?
Thanks as always gentlemen. ;0)

Yes they look genuine and should fit.

I concur, they're both correct and should fit your 16710 as they have grooves on the backside.

I have a coke, pepsi and black for my 16710 which is more than enough variety. I do like that rootbeer look tho, very nice.

In the market for something interesting with fade or ghosting if anyone has anything up for grabs anytime soon. Just not a Pepsi.

120,- GBP for a GMT II 16710 insert?
Five years a go I paid ~45,- GBP at a German AD.

You can still pay about about 40 dollars at a Rolex boutique. As long as it’s original to your watch. I got a black one a couple of years ago to complete my Pepsi, coke, black.

They would not give me a Pepsi though, just black or coke.

I do like the root beer... maybe I’ll get one of those. For sure Rolex won’t sell it to me as it’s not original to the 16710 2004 models

Buying a root beer insert for a 16710 could also be problematic in Germany.
It depends on the AD.

People enjoy, and therefore pay a premium for, the faded look.
