Hi! I have never noticed the "B" on the bezel of a Navitimer; however, the "B" is on my Seawolf. Best Regards, Enezdez |

As far as I know all the models that have bezels with rider tabs (i.e the Windrider and Aeromarine ranges), and the Motors/6.75 models etc, all have the engraved 'B'. The Navi models don't. Not sure about the Professional range. |

Obviously not on Navis as there is nowhere to put it! It's also only on watches from late 90s / early 2000s on (can't remember the exact year). |

can i conclude that when you have a breitling from the aeromarine or windrider range and it doesnt have the "B" that it is a fake? |

The older type of bezel has only 4 real screws to hold the riders. The others a fake screws, even without thread. Breitling changed this design so all srews are real and longer so they hold into the housing and can not pulled off like the other bezel. To show thier Watchmakers that the "B" version can not simply pulled off the gave that sign to this version. This must be unscrewed komplete before try to remove. |

Did somebody missed my post above, or was it missunderstandable ? ALL newer Models have this engraved "B" cause of the facts i wrote already. |
