No they will not fit a totally different design and if they did fit bezel and insert would be around $1000.The ceramic bezel and insert floats on 3 spring loaded ball bearings that are drilled into the watch case ring.

Unfortunately, the only way to do this is a rather complicated two step process over the course of which you might lose some money:

Step 1, sell your watch

Step 2, buy another one with a ceramic bezel

Step 3, there is no third step in two step processes.

;)

On the upside, once the above is completed, you'll feel like you've got a whole new watch.

Or keep the 14060...
Ceramic can be expensive to live with.
