Hello, I have a Sprint ref. 2010 with a stuck bezel. Some stupid former owner has glued it on the case :shock: Therefor I need to source a replacement, as it cannot be removed without being further damaged. My question is:

Will a bezel from the ref 7101 "Pult" case fit?
It looks similar, and there's lots of the listed on Ebay.

Sprint ref. 2010 like mine....

Pult ref. 7101, the bezel looks very much the same.

Does anyone know if it will fit?

Best regards

I think that it will fit, but am not 100% sure. It might be worth asking Breitling directly.

Thanks. I might give it a try... Those cases can be picked up for around 100 euro.

If I will email Breitling, do you have a email adress to the rigth department?

best regards
Jarl

The best route will be to go through your national Breitling division / representative as they can contact the right department more quickly - otherwise you'll have to go through the contact point on the Breitling website.

Update...

I managed to remove the glued bezel without damage it further, and cleaned the case and bezel for glue parts. The problem was that the loking spring was missing from the bezel. I have some spare bezels for my Heuers, so I tried one from a Autavia 1163, and it was a perfect fit.

End of story, I have now a bezel that rotates again. :D

I will make a post with pictures of my first breitling later. I have untill now been a Heuer man.

Regards
Jarl
