How easy is it to change bezel?

[Bluenoze]

So ive just ordered my first rep, VSF 126610. I was wondering how easy it is to swap the bezel out for the black one if I ever felt like a change? Also, how would I go about sourcing one other than M2M? Thanks i advance x

Just buy the black VSF 126610 as well - problem solved

These are excellent watches!

It seems easy after a few attempts, but if you only have one rep, it makes more sense to just buy another as opposed to risking messing one up trying to switch it. That's the beauty of buy them for 5% of retail.

Bezel and crystal swaps are at a higher skill level than changing Quartz batteries, removing crown or stem or even removing and attaching hands, requiring more specialized tools. For those tasks you can (mostly) use available tools that you should already have, even if you are not a real watchsmith.

I have to agree with @APjumbo here. Better to just get another rep for now...
