I disagree! Loving the worn bezel insert, I'd replace the pip and keep on trucking.

On the TST front, I wouldn't do it personally to a functional and original watch which has history, I got a 7548 case, now saving a funds to have it done, as a case is a case, not even a worn bezel insert, sob . It has been done though, I read on a blog once something like "We only modify watches for self gratification, not to please others".
7548s never age in my opinion, my other black bezel insert variants look stunning for their age, more than can be said for their owner. Re-born as a 7548 in a next life maybe.

That's a 7548 worth reviving. If you want an aftermarket Pepsi bezel insert with a little forced wear/fading and big pip then PM me I can help out. It would look better than a box fresh aftermarket - more commensurate with age of the watch.
You'll probably find a more knackered one for a TST project will feel better for the soul...
Mine was this...

Now this - sort of

The case went to TST and the internals went to a 7548 case but I could have used the whole lot in the TST.

This also shows a couple of forced patina inserts I did from new aftermarket parts.

That looks GOOD Brad !!!!
I have this heading into the "factory" I can just about live with the insert on this (just ).

Good original Pepsi inserts are quite hard to come by... I do know what a Pepsi is though! I just offer up that you can take one like this and force a little patina with various methods - this one is only very lightly faded, but I've done more worn, faded examples that look pretty good. It's an option if all hunting fails or as a temporary fix whilst the hunt continues
