Amer. Cup bezel interchange

I just bought a full-sized SMP auto. w/ sword-style hands, electric blue face, stainless steel bezel. I bought it through an authorized, out-of-state, bricks n' mortar dealer that I discovered through this forum. I love the watch...and that is coming from a former Rolex Sub/GMT/Explorer1 owner. The high polish bezel is fantastic and will wear gracefully...I think.

But I'd love to know if it COULD be replaced with the white gold, raised-numeral, bezel that is on the America's Cup. Does anyone know if these parts are interchangeable on the above described watch?

Another thing, if anyone wants a pre-made excel spreadsheet that lets you monitor watch performance (accuracy), I'd be happy to e-mail it to you. It allows you to know the error in sec/day (and month)and the running average error in sec/day; all without doing any of the "math" yourself. Just put in the start and end time of test, and the error (in seconds, plus or minus) over that time period.
