I'll post a picture when I get home so don't get panties in a wad. I purchased a VTNR last year, wear my watch on right hand.

Hated the green black, but liked the rest of the watch, so I sent the watch and a new Pepsi bezel to my watchmaker in PA, and guess what, I now have a lefty Pepsi.

Stand by for photo(s) 24/hrs.

Looks great to me !

And yes there was a small amount of fitment done for the change.

I am told it will be nonbinary, with the winding crown at either 12:00 or 6:00, or dual crowns—one at 9:00 and one at 3:00

I hope it identifies as a submariner and gets better bezel font

ADs are as clueless as anyone but like to act like they know what The Crown is doing. They are wrong 99% of the time

would be great for the only reason being it would save me a lot of money.

in all seriousness, seeing as the coke is my favorite GMT, I would be disappointed as ive been waiting for them to release a ceramic version for quite some time. hate the left handed gmt. it gives me a headache!

I respect that you made it your own. Now the question is how much was the Pepsi bezel?

That’s cool!. I guess people have different tastes. I specifically asked for the Sprite because of the black/green!. I think it looks amazing!. My AD even suggested he could also get me the Pepsi but I told him I want the Sprite. Just curious as why you bought it if you didn’t like the color combo?.

I am lucky enough to own a few GMT's all the way back to the 16700. I'm a lefty that wears a watch on the right wrist. It was just natural that I purchased a Sprite - but I still loved the "Pepsi" color combo, so I changed the bezel insert from Sprit to Pepsi. "Friend" at Service Center helped me purchase the the Pepsi insert, and I had another friend, a CW21, change it out for me.

Did have to turn the Sprite insert back in to my friend at the Service Center.

I see I did not know you were a lefty who wore the watch on the right wrist. Makes a lot more sense now!. I’m a righty who wears the watch on my right wrist and that’s I bought mine.

Can you get back the Sprite bezel later if you change your mind?. I remember you saying it was not a straight swap and something extra had to be done to make it fit. Do you know why that was?. By the way, your new lefty Pepsi looks very cool!
