1675 and Coke bezel help

I am the proud new owner of a 1966 (ii66) Faded Pepsi GMT.
I know the collectors love the faded bezels for some reason but I just don't get it and want a new all black or Red/Blue and I want it original to wear as the every day watch while putting the old faded in the safe so that my kids can make it original after I die. :)

Tonight I was browsing flebay and seen a 'Genuine 1675 Coke' bezel with 14 minutes left on the auction, 1 bid at $50. so I got gun happy and bid it up to 51, and low and behold I got it. After looking at the other auctions I was assuming I would not get it in the first place, I think the fact that I did tells me something.......BUT I have not paid.
And of course THEN went to go to the research here on RF, there is plenty of evidence that this will not fit my 1675 GMT, I have read that the Black/Red was not released until later, but will fit a 1675 if you change the entire bezel assembly, which I don't have.

So is there ANY chance this will even fit my watch? or do I need to try and get this canceled out and file a report for mis represented merchandise which will be a pain, worse case I buy it and put it right back on flebay for 50 BIN

I have already contacted the seller but have not heard back advice? the money is not the issue but if they are selling's something wrong then I don't think I should have to pay them, and it should get canceled. or am I wrong on this whole thought process?

/Pictures or it didn't happen.




And here is the auction photos, i was not sure if it was against the rules to hotline to flebay so here they are.
