Ling Man has become BLING Man,

I already had the factory white gold Diamond bezel for the Bentley and I had a bezel for the SA with 2 rows of smaller diamonds. I decided to upgrade the SA with a new bezel with a single row of larger diamonds. See pics below

Holy smoke, Ling Man! :shock: Is that a custom white gold bezel on the SA or a modifed OEM steel bezel?

Bling Man, aka P-Diddy, is really stepping up to the plate now and is running with two "Full Ling and a Halfs". Gone are the days of the full ling... long live the full ling and a half! :lol:

Driver8,

The Bentley bezel is a genuine White Gold Breitling 3 Carat bezel. The SA bezel is a custom made Stainless 2.5 Carat bezel. You really can't tell the difference between 10 Carat White Gold and Stainless. This new SA bezel is my 3rd try at getting what I wanted. I started out with a 2.15 Carat bezel for the SA with 80 diamonds in 2 rows. Unless you were out in the sun or under good halogen lighting you could hardly even tell they were Diamonds although it was a great bezel. So I moved up to a 2 Carat bezel with a single row of Diamonds and that STILL didn't give me the BLING effect I was looking for. So the guy I bought it from let me return the 2 Carat one and upgraded me to the 2.5 Carat one you see in the picture which is comparable to the Bentley bezel and the diamonds are higher quality. Do yourself a favor and get at least 1 really high quality Diamond bezel because I can tell you from experience that it will get you LAID. I've been quite a bit "luckier" even since adding the BLING to my LINGS and I'm an old man !

Guy's,

Let me tell you, these diamonds on the Lings are AMAZING when you are out and about. I usually do pretty good anyway but these BLING bezels are conversation starters like you wouldn't believe. Whether or not YOU like them or not is irrelevant. These things will get you almost as much "sure thing" encounters as playing guitar which I also do. My suggestion is that if you have an EVO or SA just get one and try it out. They are EASILY installed and removed, you can do it yourself in a few minutes if you have the right screwdriver. Trust me it's worth it's weight in gold, or in this case Diamonds !

Where did you get that SA bezel from Ling Man?

Sweet! Well done Bling Man! Really nice!

I see your watches are pretty synchronized, but you need to get the seconds straight too... ;)

Driver8,

I got it from Liori Diamonds. He advertises on ebay but that's not the way to go. If you want a top notch quality bezel call him directly. The guy will produce virtually ANYTHING you want on a custom level. His name is Avi and he can be reached at 917-330-4667. He's in New York and you don't want to just go by his ebay auctions. It's better to call and telll him EXACTLY what you want and he will produce it for you. The man is a totally STAND UP guy and if what you get doesn't suit your needs he will take it back and replace it with EXACTLY what you are looking for. I just got mine on a Fedex Saturday delivery and he was watching the tracking info. 10 minutes after it arrived he called me at home to see if I was happy with the product. He has regular production bezels for sale on ebay but like I said it's much better to call him and explain exactly what you want and he will get you the BEST !

Great looking pieces!!!

I just can't see myself doing the diamond thing (and I'm married!!), but I certainly appreciate the beauty.

Looks great!

Few of general questions though, is there some sort of gasket material under the bezel? I'm guessing this would void the warranty correct? Will it effect the watertight integrity?

:?:

In2deep,

NO it has NOTHING to do with the waterproof integrity of the watch. There is a very thin circular wire that comes with the regular bezel that has to be placed inside the new bezel that's all. As a matter of fact while I had the bezel off I did some polishing of the SA with my Cape Cod cloth and rinsed and washed the SA and there is virtually NO EFFECT on the waterproof feature of the watch. The bezel has NOTHING to do with the SEAL of the watch. All you need is the right screwdriver to change the bezels and as a matter of fact you could go DIVING with the SA with the bezel off. Again it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the waterproofing of the watch or the sealing factors. It just looks 20 times better once the diamond bezel replaces that DEGRADED BRUSHED bezel the SA comes with. If Diamond bezels were not available I would have at least had that BRUSHED bezel polished out.
