Can you put a new ceramic bezel onto a 14060m

If not, is it possible to put a ceramic bezel insert in instead?
thanks in advance.

No, the housing and size of the bezel isn't compatible. Sorry

I'm pretty sure that's going to be a no. The bezels from the 14060M and 16610 weren't interchangeable, so I seriously doubt that the 116610 would work either. There's a slight size difference.

Short answer no and just cannot think of any good reason to do so, and even if you could and re-machine the 14060m case. You would be looking at $1400 plus for bezel and insert and then end up with a bezel that functions the same as the old one.

100% no - the machining process is completely different even though the overall look is similar.
