Hello,
To answer your question: It's not recommended to replace the Ti Bezel with a steel one. When these two metals come into contact, an electrical current will flow between the two and the titanium will dissolve or corrode rapidly.
If you have a an amalgamated tooth filling, you can observe the same phenomenon when you bring it into contact with a piece of aluminum foil. It is not at all pleasant .
If you really don't like the bezel, You can try to find a replacement bezel for the SKX403 or SKX405.
It's always nice to see one's decisions justified . I have a SKX423 (orange dial with bracelet)which I like a lot. I'm thinking about replacing the bracelet for a Rhino (the 20 mm version should fit fine) to prevent it from getting scratched the next time I go hiking in the mountains.
Can you post a pic of your watch with the Rhino when it arrives?
Best regards,
Bas
