Hi folks,

New member saying hi! :lingsrock:

However, I have a question (sorry!). Just did a deal to buy an '08 Superocean (with lumed numbers) pre-owned. Good nick, and with box and papers, one ding on the side but I reckon Breitling UK might be able to polish it out :)

But, I have noticed one small thing...the bezel has a tiny bit of 'play'. It;s very firm and solid in turning, but if I push with thumb and forefinger from opposite sides I can get it to shift by a tiny bit, say 1'10th of a second. :?

So, simple question, can this be fixed (if it needs to be?). And, is it anything to be worried about? I do intend to send the watch to Breitling UK for an overhaul, but wasn't planning to do it until next year.

Its not a big deal, but I havent had any of my B's with anything resembling even a slightly loose bezel. If there is a problem, theres a 99% chance its the click spring under the bezel, which is probably the least expensive piece on the watch.

I have a 2007 Superocean, and there is no detectable play in the bezel.
