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 looked through that thread and didn't see any sub bezels on a yachtmaster, am I missing it? I did however see a YG YM bezel on a TT serti Sub.

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