(The SOII.42 mm rubber bezel is fine with the CSOI., that's 42 mm too!)
PM-s are also welcome!

Thanks,
Robert

What are you saying Robert? Do you want confirmation or something else?

I wonder how the SO II. 42 mm would look with the SOH 42 mm bezel - if someone does not really like rubber, for example. Outer diameters seem to be identical. (Since a few years I've been wearing my CSO I. with the SO II. 42 mm bezel and it fits perfectly, looks good and no pullover killing any more... that gave the idea.)
Service centers are welcome to chime in too 8) I welcome mainly PM-s.

OK. Well, I think that the main issues to check, would be;
The internal diameter and the connection detail needs to be the same. The flush glass is art of the bezel (which seems OK) but you would need to check the interface between the chapter ring on the face and the inside of the SOH bezel. Also, there are several screw connection points about the bezel of the SOH 42 that would also need to fit onto the SOII 42.

If all the stars line, might work indeed.

Thanks, that's the point. If someone should be in the position to do the checking... :) Either by having both watches or working for Breitling... 8)

Sharkmouth, thx for the wonderful Photoshop! This watch loox coooool!!!!!!!!!!!!! I prefer this much more than the rubber bezel and maybe this one can be (retro)fitted with a lume at 60... The only remainig question is still if it can be fitted on the SO II. 42 mm or not... any input on this? :)

The next issue is one of actually getting hold of a SOH bezel.
It can not be simply ordered from Breitling unless you have some very good contacts there or an AD who could order it for you.
Not sure how often they come up for sale on eBay.
