The Breitling Watch Source Forums

to breltling steelfish owners:

is your bezel properly aligned? mine seems to be a little off. i know im being OCD here, but it does bother me a bit.

Uhm...could we see a picture? Are you sure you are looking at it straight on? Try angling the watch face away from you and site from 6 to 12. Chances are the rider tab at 12 will be square on. It can look slightly off depending on angle and also glare/reflection off the point of the polished bezel tab.

But in the end, a pic is needed.

regardless of the angle, the bezel is definitely misaligned. sorry about that, i should have posted pictures when i created this thread. damn you leica! its been 2 months and im still waiting for my replacement!!!!!

Let me apologize in advance if this is insulting, but you do realize the bezel rotates anti-clockwise? Try rotating it and aligning the bezel tab.

hahaha, no offense taken. yes, i am fully aware of the nifty feature

There is a click spring underneath the bezel that ratchets (top item in the pic). If one of the little prongs gets bent from excessive clockwise force, it will mess up the alignment. Its not an expensive part though.

Just to add to RJ's info. That click spring has one tab that is bent down and locates into 1 of 3 different hole positions in the case, although if this were in the wrong hole I would imagine the bezel would look quite obviously misaligned
