I didn’t like my mk1 bezel, outdoors it popped but inside (where I spent most my time) the bezel didn’t seem right. The colors always looked too purple and pink. This new bezel is spot on.

It almost reminded of patina on a 1675, 16750, 16710 etc (i would say 16760 but that's a coke haha). And not the good kind of patina haha

I just love that the blue is darker and the red is richer

I'm sure they would though - not sure why you'd give up a mk1 bezel though. They're rarer.

I really like the deep, crisp colors, but I have to say that I’d be surprised if they make a “Coke” version because in low/ medium light the bezel does look black and red.
