Icon5 Swapping out a bezel...

I want to put a different bezel on my Datejust 41 mm, it's a 2014 watch. How hard is this to do? Is it something I can comfortably do at home?

It's not difficult but not something you're going to do at home, either. The bezel on this model actually holds the crystal (glass) in place and needs to be pressed down using a special tool and a new gasket. Afterward, the watch should be pressure tested to make sure it's still waterproof.

Thanks so much. I was about to go for it.
