Seamaster, changing the bezel by yourself?

Bought a used Seamaster on eBay some days ago and I can't barely wait until it arrives. It's my first and it looked genuine but with a little bit of wear. The bezel (the ring around the glass, is this the right word? english is not my native language)is not so good looking, so I'd like to change it.

If I order a new one from for example ofrei, could it be possible for me to change it by myself or should I let a proffessional do it? I have no experience in watches at all, but I'm a fast learner with everything technical. As for the resale value I don't care, since I do not ever plan to sell it. The only thing I'm concerned about is if I risk to do damage to the watch and/or if it would require special instruments.

Thanks in advance!
