After seeing the bakelite GMT bezels of old I came up with the idea of a sapphire crystal bezel insert, with a painted underside. It could even have luminova numerals. Although still possible to scratch, this would eliminate the problem with the platinum/gold numerals chipping out and we could have our pepsi back! I just hope the people at Rolex read this and offer to pay me for my idea...

Blancpain beat you to this by several years!
