: Omega will only swap bezels when the resulting

: If you can find an existing model that

Derek,

there IS a seamaster with the white gold bezel (the AC), so would Omega consider my black/black seamaster the "same model" and switch the bezel?
I understand they haven't sold a "regular" SMP with the gold bezel, but the AC is still a SMP, right?

I get the impression from your post they won't, but I'm slow and just wanted to make sure I understood what you're saying.
