It's still made of steel, but it's specially made for setting diamonds.

From the sounds of it, your trying to do the same thing i did, except on a SA, we have a fam owned jewlery store, we do our own work there, after we saw the outrageous bezel prices from breit, my father and I, decided to go to work and line everything up, and get drilling, did it right on the OEM bezel, machine drilled, hand set, quailty of stones i used were E-F in color, and VS mixed parcel, heres a pic of my watch (wish i had better pic, does no justice for it), i posted a thread around months ago, after we had did it, good luck in your venture, any questions, shoot
