I had the same issue, the only way you can get one is from AP service, other way from as I know it is impossible.

I have heard people say $400-500 USD. Not sure how long it would take. Calling service center would be best.

Can you show us a photo of the bezel wear?

I am considering one myself but I was scared of the fragile carbon fiber chipping on edges

This seems good, but I like the carbon better actually. TSW did you get the bezel via a dealer?
