I think it's more a question of "if" not "when". And I think the odds are slim to none.

It's purposely designed not to fit any GMT model other than the white gold one. If you're trying to buy the bezel and put it on a stainless steel model, don't bother.

Really do you have the schematic diagrams showing this to be true or is it a perpetuated myth

With all due respect, are you able to prove them wrong?
If so, please show your work.
Some people here might really like to see if the Ceramic BLRO can be placed on the SS GMT.

I am sure that anything can be done. I am not certain if anybody here (or anywhere for that matter) has got a hold of one to modify the SS Bezel (if necessary as you infer) to make it work. Or to just swap the whole bezel out of a WG to a SS???

If we are all such "morons" on here why do you need us to help you find a bezel?

I hope you have enjoyed your short time here as I am sure it will not last long at this pace.
