In2Deep,

For the Bentley bezels www.authenticwatches.com has the stock factory, genuine Breitling bezels and they want $3275 for them. They are white gold and the real thing. If you call them and put up a little FUSS they will come down to $2950 and ship it overnight. The quality of the diamonds is fantastic and they are just slightly over 3 Carats. You have to go to a watch maker to have them installed correctly. A guy like Admin could probably do it himself but the Bentley diamond bezels require the installer to match up a very tiny little PIN that fits in the bezel on the inner diameter that turns the slide rule and if you are not used to dealing with these intricacies it can be a daunting task to install the bezel correctly. When it comes to the Super Avenger bezels it's a piece of cake. When you have a Super Avenger and you take off the stock DEGRADED, brushed bezel, there is a little circular wire that rides inside the inner diameter of the stock bezel. All you have to do is loosen the screws and turn the bezel counter clockwise while lifting it at the same time. It pops right off and while you have it off it's a good idea to take the opportunity to take a toothbrush and some detergent like shampoo or dish washing liquid and clean it up really good under where the original bezel was. When I got my first one I was unaware of the little circular wire that rides inside the original bezel and tried to install the new one and it just wouldn't "Click" into place. I called the guy I bought it from and he explained how to do it. What you do is go back to the original bezel and tighten 2 or 3 of the screws and you will see the little circular wire pop out. Then all you need to do is take your little screwdriver and pop that little wire out and insert it into the inner diameter of the new bezel. It's real easy and then you take your little screwdriver and guide it into the GROOVE that goes all the way around the circumference of the inner diameter of the new bezel. Once you have that little wire in place, you line up the bezel and just push down on it and you will hear it "Click" into place. Then just hold down the bezel firmly near the 12:00 O Clock position and tighten the screws, After that go down to the 6 O clock position and tighten those screws and then just tighten ALL the screws and you will have it in place in a matter of minutes. There's nothing to it with the SA but the Bentley is a little trickier and the screwdriver you need to do the Bentley bezel is almost microscopic. Only guy's like Admin usually have the tools to pull off the installation of a Bentley bezel, but like I said the SA bezels are a piece of cake and you can do it yourself in a matter of minutes. I put my new SA Diamond bezel on today in less than 10 minutes.

Yeah I think I'd better keep the diamonds as my fallback position if (once) it all goes rocky again!
