2022 would be a Mk3. Mk2 was 2019 if I'm not mistaken

Clean GMT-II Pepsi updated bezel insert V2/V2s review and comparison
- Thread starter CTime
- Start date
Speaking of CF insert color flaking and all... I heard on Reddit (the most reliable source on the internet) that CF recently released a sub-model that only had been QC-tested indoors. When costumers got it they noticed that the case started to melt in sunny condition. I mean whatta f×ck...
Curious, does anyone else have a version number engraved on the back of their bezel? This is actually the previous version CF bezel that I replaced. I didn't realize it until after I installed the new one so I didn't see if that new one had a number on it.

For the UV light obsessed, gen left CF V2 on right.

I am really anxious to know why this is unfortunate and how it will negatively affect the wearing experience.
Don't you know that RWI members only wear reps exclusively to clubs and raves? Instant call out, smh, be careful, everyone at raves and night clubs know that Pepsi inserts are meant to glow red!! Instant give away
I use my gen Pepsi's as glow sticks at raves. Should see all the attention
The glow isn’t quite as strong as GEN, but overall it’s a step in the right direction.

Gen on left; CF on right. Lighting and photo conditions in general are different. iPhone camera botches text sometimes….

Nearly spot on (taking in difference the slight angle of the R photo and the warm tone), you would be really really nit picking to find something wrong at this point.Gen on left; CF on right. Lighting and photo conditions in general are different. iPhone camera botches text sometimes….
We grabbed scratched bezel inserts(aboout to return to the factory) in our office, and washed with dish soap and toothbrush with no problem. I also asked the factory to do the same, and they tested different batches for no problem, not even one piece was off.
And for the Batman bezel, they have been in the market for years, they were stable and never had peeling off problem. The V2s insert could have higher chance to peel off, but it should never be the batman
I would suggest you to ask your TD to see if they can do anything and check your dishwashing soap ingredients if they are not good for your watch @2841
For other members, the platinum is PVD vacuum plating, it should stay long and stable and wouldn't react with most substances, but be careful with acetone, banana oil(and other organic solvent) and corrosive liquid.
PS. Nail polish wouldn't help!
