May I please ask all rolex and tudor gurus.

I already have a 79280P(polished steel bezel) and now I plan to get a 79260P(black bezel). But before I pull the trigger I'd like to ask if you guys would know if both bezels can be interchanged? And if so, can this be easily done with some simple tools or does it have to be an expert to do this?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Wow, so no one has done this experiment I guess? I've asked Dan about this and he said he's removed the bezel from his tudor chrono but on a rotating one. I've searched around and found some bezel removal on a daytona and but none on a tudor chrono.

I know that this might be considered a franken but I just thought that swapping bezels between steel and black bezels would be so cool. But what the heck, I'm still gonna pull the trigger on the 79260P nonetheless! Tudor Chrono is a champion watch!

The question has been asked before but never answered. I think it's possible but would hate to have you base you decision on that.
Either way the 79260P is a great chrono as are all the Tudors.
Hope it all works out for you. Keep us posted if you attempt a bezel swap so we can all learn something.

Thanks for the input, Dan. Will post info about this experiment when I'm able to do it. Cheers!
