A sapphire bezel insert might be cool. Maybe with ground ghost numerals.

I found those images online, but after seeing the pics posted Loevhagen, I had to give it a try.

interesting concept for a change of pace/appearance. Rolex should consider offering a plain SS bezel that can take the place of the numerical one for those occasions.

HA!!! Yeah, I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out... My eyes were drawn to the lack of a bezel.

No. Because most of owners already defeat the purpose buying a diver watch and not dive with it

Uh.... No. If you want a watch without a professional bezel there are plenty of very attractive models available. For example, the DJ II smooth bezel.
