Bezel

I have a 2255 SMP with the polished bezel. I chose the polished bezel because I thought that it would be more scratch resistant that the blue painted version. I now understand that the blue bezel is very durable. I would like to know how easy it would be to change the bezel on a SMP myself. What tools do I need & what is the EXACT procedure? Should I get another bezel spring at the same time? I am quite capable of doing intricate work & have great respect for the watch & those who do work on them. I don't want to minimize what they do, but if I know the procedure & have the tools I am not afraid to try. I draw the line at opening the back on this watch though. I have a case wrench & have opened many watches, but not this one!
Thanks
