Guy's,

Last week I got a real Breitling Diamond bezel for my Bentley and I liked it so much that today I got my ICE bezel for the Super Avenger. It's a new addiction.

Good on ya, cheaper than my latest addiction (photo gear)

This calls for a nice celebratory cigar :D

Where did you get the bezels from? The Breitling ones are nice.

Maybe you ought to compliment your collection with a nice Panerai? Maybe customize it with a leopard skin strap? JK :lol:

Altair,

I will be having a Cohiba Maduro Genios his evening and then probably a Monte Christo #2. I love these new Cuban Cohiba Maduro's that came out last year. I' not a Panerai guy though. When I get off the Ling train it will probably be a Carl Bucherer. I finally got to handle one at my tobacco shop the other day because a fellow cigar lover was there with one on and I noticed it immediatley. He took it off and I checked it out, it was the Patravi Traveltech and MAN is that a FINE watch. There is a jewelry store right around the corner from there that is carrying them now. The price is high with a steel bracelet compared to Lings but I have to say that they make the only other 5 rowed bracelet that I like as much as the LING bracelets. The sub dials are very BOLD and and the watch in general is just great. For now I'm quite happy with my Bentley ad SA and especially the Bentley since I added the diamond bezel it really made the watch much dressier. as long as you don't get carried away with too much ICE like some of these atrocious HIP HOP style watches like you see sometimes on ebay and stick with genuine Breitling diamond bezels I find it to be a great addition to an already great watch.

great video bro. you need to take some real quality pictures of the lings side by side to show a nice comparison of breitlings largest watches. its hard to tell if the SA has the double row of stones or one row of larger stones. i do have to say though the bentley with the silver face and the stones looks gorgeous. def the next in my collection except im probably going to go with the motors t

Looks great! I really want a diamond bezel for my CSO or Colt II, but my friend at the AD said they dont make them for either - can anyone confirm this?

Dadiocre,

I tried again with a magnifying glass and like I said I'm not a very good photographer like Ron is, however both bezels are what you would see if you went to a dealer. The Bentley bezel is much more expensive at 3.1 carats of single row round diamonds that are actually STUNNING. The SA has 2 rows of smaller diamonds but they look great and the bezel itself is great and I like the fact that the rider tabs are polished too. Take a look at the video below.

lol bro that video is hilarious. not the magna-fine glass but fact that you named it after me lol. actually my user name is my first and middle initial and then my last name lol. anyways the watches look great. the bentley is gorgeous. in my opinion there is no watch nicer than the bentley motors, motors t or 6.75 with that diamond bezel. absolutely stunning. i cant wait for my SA bezel to come in so i can pick it up from my jeweler. its very similiar to the one you have on your motors except the bezel is the channel set kind. the stones are not set with prongs to hold them in place they actually sit in the inside of the bezel. this type of setting allows for more light to get in to the diamond and in return it shines a little brighter. i would love to get my hands on the motors t and do the same bezel you have lol. great video bro, what dedication lol


the bezel will actually look like this except my SA is an 07 and ill have the black croco strap with deployant on it. ill post pics so you can check it out when the bezel and strap arrive, hopefully this week.

dadicroce,

That one looks like the one on my Bentley. The Bentley Diamond bezel has a single row of diamonds while the SA bezel has 2 rows of smaller diamonds.

the one on ur bentley is from authenticwatches correct? cause there bezels are 10kt white gold which is pretty cool. its better than having SS. do they set there diamonds by drilling the bezel and then setting the stones in the holes or are the diamonds set in a channel?
