Is it physically possible to place a ceramic bezel on a regular steel bezel daytona?

I forget if this has been done before.

Would doubt it and even if you could source one it would be very very expencive going by the prices of the other ceramic inserts.And even if you could do it the watch would be a frankenwatch that Rolex themselves would not service unless put back to original ref spec so not worth the hassle for a slither of ceramic.

It would mean sourcing a complete bezel - and brown/PT or black/RG are only choices so would not be practical. Keep the old one though if you ever need a service!
