Been searching 'round the net for awhile now, but cannot find a polished bezel, specifically on an evo. If anyone has done it, or has a picture available, would be greatly appreciated!!!

Easy to do with some polish and a Dremel tool!

I know its relatively easy to do, but do not want to do it without hopefully seeing a picture of it already done.

I believe all the bezels are now brushed on the windrider series, whereas it used to be the opposite. If you want polished I think you have to do it yourself.

If you look for some pics of older Chronomats you will see some with a polished bezel. I prefer the brushed bezel.

Fedor,

I get my Lings polished a couple of times a year. To just have a bezel polished out is no big deal, any watch repair guy can do that in a matter of minutes.

Yeah I know it shouldn't be a big deal to polish the bezel. I just wanted to see some picture references before I do it.
THanks!

I was in La Swiss this past weekend and the girl quoted me 65 bucks to do it which is no big deal but she warned that if you did it too often you take too much of the material off... Has anyone noticed this ? Im just worried about "Breitling" and the logo on the clasp dissapearing after like 4 or 5 polishings
