I'm gonna guess yes on the dial, but I have no idea about the bezel, the angle of the pics makes it hard to see. They make gold bezels with diamonds, right? Now I'm confused. In other words, wait for someone else.

I don't think that I've seen an OEM gold bezel with diamonds, but also think that they are out there. This is OEM style, but as siad, tough to tell from the angles.

Ive also never seen a rose gold diamond bezel, but just based on the the pics, it appears to be genuine. It doesnt have any of the milled-out OEM look that always leaves the tips of the numbers visible.

I have seen many of this sellers auctions. When I pressed him for the details I was told that the diamonds were real but did not come on the watch. They also put diamond markers on the dial.

After watching for a while you can see that nearly every watch that they sell has a diamond bezel. They must find them cheap add ice and mark them up.

Seller couldn't divulge the exact age of the watch, although stated they were all original Breitling parts. We buy the seller first, I'll let this one slip through the net.

It's an original Bezel that they added the diamonds too.

I see diamond Breitlings all the time on Ebay from this vendor. The prices make me question authenticity.

There is a company that does the same thing with Rolex. Picks up old stainles steel models, adds diamonds, gives an authenticity certificate (for the diamonds) and charges a pile of money!!
