16710 Bezel insert problems

[Flexi]

Hi,

recently acquired a 16710 in black and my wife gifted me an original Pepsi insert as the watch was originally also a Pepsi. Removed the bezel and the black inlay. Bezel was easy to remove, insert a bit harder. Unfortunately the Pepsi doesn’t fit and the black one was hard to get in with the help of the local Rolex dealer. Is it possible that the bezel is somehow deformed or has anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions? My Plan B is to acquire a second bezel for the Pepsi insert to change both bezel and inlay for colour change, but I haven’t found any of them online…any recommendations?

It’s my first post here - thanks in advance for all of your suggestions!

Best regards Flexi
