Yes, It can Definitely be done!
I have a gen bezel on my BCE and was able to remove the rep bezel without damaging it.
You only have to remover the screws on the 12, 3, 6 and 9'o'clock tabs, the rest of the screws are just for looks.
If you don't have a case opener like me, take a small but wide flat-head screw driver and sharpen the tip by sanding so it will fit in the small gap
and carefully pry it off
Heating up the case with a hairdryer helps expand the bezel and makes it easier.

Good luck, it take a bit of effort but its well worth it.
