A local shop said they would get their watchmaker to do this mod for me, so all I need to do is factory age the bezel insert.
A flat sapphire doesn't need ar on the SKX. It will look almost like the factory crystai.

Most coil edge bezel's do not click. They aren't machined the same as the stock one so that feature is usually lost.

Good luck.

Oh that's a bit disappointing that the coin edge bezel will not click I didn't realise that was a likely outcome..

Oh well maybe its a good thing in fact as now I don't have to worry so much about click alignment of the bezel insert with the 12 O'Clock position

You can contact the seller and see if their's does. but most do not.

Click alignment is super easy to fix. You just take the insert out and reapply it.
