Did you read the whole 3rd page. 馃槜
No one is laughing, and I am always happy to hear ideas. The problem I see is that you are suggesting removing a speedmaster bezel insert from the steel bezel. It is not so easy. While it is often done on Rolex, and you have seen it on SMP's, it is quite risky to do on a speedmaster - they simply are not designed to be serviceable, although it is possible. The risk of damage is high, and also the fit is hard to make secure. They often have to be glued in.
Also you suggest swapping out the bezel insert to "save" it. Why not swap the case, too? Or the dial, or the hands? Or the crown? I do understand the temptation to 'save' the parts but honestly whats the point in owning the watch if you are going to wear it half correct.
Also the loss risk is far greater off the watch! Dont believe me? Where are all those boxes and papers!
Thats the other thing, as I said, the after market replacement bezels inserts are easily spotted across a room, and they are cheap looking.
You wouldn't catch me "popping"out the insert on my DO90 bezels because
a) the risk of damage on a valuable part
b) it would look terrible
c) risk of loss from what ever "safe place" i couldn't remember where i put it
Imagine this:
