Just got an insert from that eBay seller, HNS Watch Strap. It is absurd. Blue ceramic with bronze aluminum coating where the red should be. Much worse than a cheaper aluminum insert would be.

Sadly that's the one. I'll try to post pics tonight, but I'm positive the pics are not of what he's selling.

I got mine last night bro, it's already headed back for refund. It looks to me like the one advertised. You can take a pic in which it looks OK, but shift the viewing angle a little and YIKES! For $56? No effing way. I've never seen an aluminum coated ceramic insert before (red half only) and hope I never see one again.

Real shame, the blue side is fine. If the red was real ceranic, and with a silver paint mod I would absolutely sport this one.

Try the gen forums, chrono24 or search gen Rolex dials. The watch is hottest in the lineup at the moment with close to zero dials on the market.

There aren't any. If one became available it would fetch $4‐5K, which is just silly.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but it is relevant as I am looking to find a quality Pepsi GMT style insert. Would prefer a good, true red and blue colored ceramic, but if anyone has any recommendations for aluminum I would entertain that as well.

Does anyone have a good source they can recommend for either ceramic or aluminum?

Perhaps you'd like to give this a go:
