Rolex GMT Master II 116710 “Green Arrow” to “Coke” Conversion


2016 Worked with Anaheim Jewelry to convert the dial and arrow from green to white lettering. The 24 hour hand was painted red. Watch was converted to a “Pepsi”.

Not a big deal. I wanted to change it up and can always go back and purchase a new green dial and 24-hour hand on eBay should I want to revert to the “Green Arrow”.

Purchased a second black bezel and ring set from eBay for ~$500.

Purchased a “Coke” bezel insert for a ceramic 116710 and gaskets ~$50.

Good/Bad

Good - Looks great with the Coke insert. Is what I wanted.

Bad - Bezel insert is not ceramic and does not fit beneath the top of the crystal. Consequently any impact to the watch will scuff the insert and over time will require replacement. This is the second insert replacement as the first looked like trash within 18 months.

If you do this conversion. Save the Rolex OEM black bezel.
