The Breitling Watch Source Forums

G'Day Crew,

I have noticed that the bezel on my new B-1 moves a fair bit (not when rotating,obviously), is it the tiny little screws that hold it in place?

I might take it into breitling Oz and get their professional opinion.

Any idea's though?

Regards,

Rob

There usually is a bit of play in the B-1 bezel as there is in all bezels that work with a rack and pinion mechanism. The Motors models, the Airwolf, the Skyracer etc are all the same, so a little play is normal. I guess it depends how much play you have in it. If it's more than a mm or so in either direction then you may have an issue. Without seeing it it's hard to say unfortunately. Might be worth nipping it into an AD for peace of mind.

Rob,

Mine was/is the same maybe .5-.75 of play. It is normal as said.

Thanks guys,

As you said only about 0.5 - 0.75mm in movement, suppose I am just used to straight forward bezels on divers etc. which rotate in one direction and not mechanical in any way.

Thank you for the posts and saving my sanity...........

Regards,

Rob

I think if you looked back a year and a half ago I posted the same question.
