The bezel won't fit, the watches that come with the ceramic insert are very different from the models with aluminum. If you want the new style, best bet is to either add or upgrade to what you got.

Good Luck!

I think someone might have converted one or something. But, from my viewpoint conversions like this are a nightmare. Especially when I get a watch with conversions in to service. I've seen aftermarket bezels come off with my hands. Hardly any tension holding them in.
