16610LV color change

I'd imagine that this is a stupid question, but Can you change the bezel from green to black on a 16610LV?

If you can source a black insert its a easy DIY job likewise to change back to original green insert.

You can... But why fix it if it ain't broken?

Yes and IMHO it would be the best part of owning a 16610LV. It would be like having 2 watches. The black bezel inserts are really cheap and pretty easy to source. Many on here have done it and switch them up often.
