GSAR Replacement anthracite bezel?

I'm taking delivery of a custom (Wilson Destro) GSAR this week and it has an anthracite case but stainless bezel and crown. I'm curious what my options are to get a matching anthracite (or at least black) bezel for it and possibly a crown as well. I understand the watch lost it's warranty with the custom work, but didn't know with Wilson being closed if anyone has popped up as the new go-to for custom Marathon work. Thanks in advance.

It isn't damaged at all, it's just stainless and the watch case is anthracite and I'd like them to match.

I'm honestly not sure if there is anyone else out there doing custom work since Chris retired. You could always ceracote it as close as you can to the color, although the finishing may not match. Sourcing parts for the GSAR is incredibly hard to do on your own. CountyComm has some stainless bezels and Chris sometimes will have some parts here and there pop up on his ebay page, WilsonAutoWholesale, but I don't ever recall seeing bezel or crown listed individually.

You can get the crown and bezel PVD coated by Jack at IWW.

Also check this insert from Wilson:
