Devils advocate time here(!), but am I the only person out here who thinks that diamonds have no business whatsoever on a mens Breitling?????? I just think it goes against the whole "Instruments For Professionals" ethos! If you want bling, I'm sure Cartier or Chanel will have something suitable with a few rocks glued on! :wink: (Hmmm I'm starting to think this topic for me is right up there with acceldebt's hatred of straps! :wink: )

Aww, so I haven't QUITE convinced you yet! :wink: (Actually I've gotta be careful as Admin has a rock encrusted bezel for one of his, so I'd best go easy or I might get banned! :wink: )

By the way, other than taking the good old "eBay gamble" I can't think of anywhere that would sell a diamond bezel for your Colt. :( Happy hunting.

You could find a jeweler that might do it for you.. tnsdiamonds.com does a lot of that kind of thing. Breitlings are among the most commonly rock-encrusted watches on the market... I like diamonds on my Breitling, and I like my Breitlings without.. its all about having a different breitling for every occasion, and some occasions call for diamond bezels :D

But seriously.. i think its good that we all have slightly different tastes, otherwise we'd all be wearing the same damn watch.. how boring is that.

You're absolutely right there admin.... but I still can't be convinced on the ice!! :? My bling would extend to a gold bezel (I do love the chrono evo with the rose gold bezel, crown and push-pieces, black dial with roman numerals), but that's about it. Each to his own I guess.....

Don't get my wrong, its no pimp style I want... Just wondering how I could change my watch a little. Even I hate "bling-bling" style watches, jewelry etc. especially the fake ones :evil:[/quote]

I think you guys are overstating the bling of the diamond bezel Chronomat Evo's... they don't really look that bling, and in fact are quite subtle. Most people don't even notice the bling until they really look at it.. and then even then sometimes they don't notice. Its the SA's that have the extremely noticeable diamond bezels.. the watch itself draws an incredible amount of attention combined with diamonds it is quite the statement, however anything smaller is quite subtle.

I've bought my two matching gold chains now.. one white and one yellow gold... so time to save up some cashola for the Bentley :D ... or i could just buy it i suppose. I test drove an Audi A3 on the weekend.. 3.2L 260HP, and that thing is sweet.. now i know what Sportback is always on about.

Yeah, just buy it I say! :wink: Worry about the cash later! (Although obviously I WOULDN'T be saying that if my good lady was looking over my shoulder about now!)
