GMT Master II bezel

HI all can anyone advise me on how easy or not it is to change the bezel on a GMT Master II. I have been fortunate to get a black and a bergundy/ black for my pepsi and would like if possible to alternate bezels.
Many thanks.

Terrific tutorial, Jocke! If you follow that, MDC, all should run smoothly. However, there have been a few bad results (scratched cases, etc.) reported here, so if you don't feel comfortable doing this by yourself, better let an AD watchmaker do the bezel exchange for you.
