Blue Bezel Insert w/ Silver Text?

I saw a few pics of people swapping out the ceramic bezel from the WG Smurf Sub and putting it on their 116610. I was just wondering if they ever made a blue bezel insert w/ silver text for the sub pre-ceramic subs. I was toying around w/ putting it on my 16600.

If you have a sub with an acrylic crystal an insert from a Tudor sub will fit. Tudor made a sub with a sapphire crystal (79190) but I dunno if the insert will fit a 16610 or not (I am guessing not).

A sub bezel will not fit a SeaDweller. The SeaDweller is a different diameter than any of the subs. The only thing you could do is to buy a aftermarket (read - FAKE) bezel insert. This would be a BAD idea IMHO.
