Complete LV bezel assemblies do come up now and again, yes they are rare but that would be the way to do that mod, just swap the complete bezel with insert rather than trying and failing to pop out the ceramic insert

If you mean a ceramic black to a ceramic green, it is a simple exchange of the complete bezel assembly and can/has been done. It is not cost-effective though, and simply results in a bastard watch, although it is good looking.

If you can source an insert and get a someone good to do the work and don’t mind wearing a franken then yes, I think it would look good.
It’s all a lot easier to do on the five digits and you can swap and Re-swap in about 5 mins. |

Above is your answer. What you have written is attempting to put an aluminum insert on a ceramic bezel watch. It cannot be done.
