Black Bay GMT Gen Insert Swap?

Hi Everyone, I recently acquired a BB GMT and am loving it. I was kicking around the idea of swapping the insert for a gen as the blue color is more prevalent on the gen insert. I realize that with a sub, this is an easy swap, however, thanks to some threads I've found, I've learned that the black bay has a different assembly and it is a more difficult swap than a Rolex sub.

I was wondering if any of you have done an insert swap on a BB GMT? Would the GMT have the same assembly as the BB58 or other Black Bays? It is a ZF. Just figured I'd ask and do a bit more research before I pop the bezel off. I know some have peeled off the BB inserts by going through the pip hole, but since it's a GMT insert I'm not positive how to go about removing it without breaking the assembly. Thanks!
