Not sure about you all, but for me the only reason to visit any store today was to snag my First Breitling! I'm fortunate to have a very new AD just a few miles from the house. So, today I bite the bullet and brought home the SA. I'll post some pics in a few days.

I secured a modest discount. My AD is very new (less than a year) so I'm sure they are being cautious. He did throw in some nice freebies so overall I'm very pleased. For me the relationship with the AD is worth a few bucks too.

Congrats. My first ever Breitling was also an SA and it's the watch that converted me from being a Rolex fan to a Breitling Fanatic. :D I also have buddies who became instant Breitling fans because of the SA!!! :lingsrock:

Mini Safes? That sounds A LOT better than a hat or a backpack. Can you put up a pic?

Help! I purchased a diamond bezel for my SA, but it doesn't seem to fit right. I was able to remove the standard bezel no problem. What am I doing wrong?

There's not a lot of information to go on there, but is the spring seated properly beneath the bezel?

The click spring Is seated right. The diamond bezel isn't seating firmly and is very loose even after I screwed it down. I did notice a very fine wire running inside my bezel that the diamond one doesn't have. I was able to put it in the diamond bezel but still no luck.

Overall the diamond one seems just a mm or so to large which is causing it to not seat right.
