I gotta imagine they are interchangeable because the watches are the same case size I believe and the bezels I think come off by removing the screws on the side of the bezel all the way around it. However, I do not know if taking of a bezel messes with water resistancy or not. I bet you could purchase a bezel from Breitling just like purcahsing extra links or something or a new crystal if you scratched it. I bet Roff, Driver or one of those guys will be by soon to answer you for sure. If you do get the 6.75 and swap the bezels I better get some pics first!!! Since it was my idea and all haha!
Yep, the Motor's T bezel is interchangeable with the 6.75 bezel. However, you have issues, firstly you need to get hold of the bezel and that's not easy! You can only order it via a "Service Centre AD", i.e. an AD that can perform minor servicing on your watch. Whether they will order it or not depends on the person you speak to. Whatever you do, don't mention your plan or else you'll get a flat "no" as they do not want to encourage customisation. However if you say you want to replace the bezel on your
Motors T they may well order it with just the model number. If they ask for the serial number too you're screwed, so it's just luck of the draw. Cost-wise it was about £120 a few months ago, which I thought was pretty superb considering the cost of most Breilting parts.
Your second problem is fitting it as it is a bit more complex than the pretty simple Aeromarine range bezels on account of the geared bezel system. It's certainly not impossible to do at home, but you might be advised to get a watchmaker to do it for you........... just don't ask a Breitling AD to do it or they'll say "no"!
Hope that helps.
