Can you swap the whole bezel..
Just out of curiosity, could you put a Sub/GMT bezel on a yachtmaster?

The sub and GMT bezels are not interchangeable as far as I know.
I'll let an expert answer your main question, but I think I already know the answer. |

I asked a very similar question a few weeks ago. It sounded like the new ceramic bezels were NOT interchangeable with the Yacht, but the old standard sub bezel "might" be. I'm far from an expert so I really don't know and I don't think I got a definitive answer in my post.
A lot of people seemed to hate the idea, although ironically I bet if someone actually did it and posted a picture of it everyone would applaud it... kind of like the Sub Shark someone posted a few months back. |

Many years ago before the two tone Yachtmaster was available
I used the gold insert from the yellow gold yachtmaster as well as the YM dial and hands and turned my two-tone Sub into a prototype two tone yachmaster...everyone wanted one. |

Standard sub bezel will fit yachtmaster. Check the Modified topic.

I'd be very interested to see it if anyone has already done it |
