Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe on the Breitling website they show some models with a Stainless bezel with diamonds set in them. I can't remember on what models though. maybe the Chronomat, but I'm pretty sure that I've seen that.


I think he's referring to more exstensive "diamonding-ing" (if you will), such as that found on some B4B models as opposed to "just" a diamond bezel.

DiamondWorks models are only precious metals, regular diamond bezels are available in steel.

This thing is just hideous.

Breitling however said that since it had been so heavily modified they class it now as a ------- cant remember the term but basically a non Breitling watch and therefore they will not touch it. They will not service it or anything.


Oh wow, that's rich.

You can get a stainless steel bezel with diamonds in it from Breitling.
