New bezels can be ordered but you can't order them yourself direct from Breitling. You'll either need to speak to an AD who is also an approved repairer as ordinary (non-repairer) AD cannot order parts - not in the UK anyway. Or you can send your watch off to your country's service centre and they will replace it for you. They are fairly cheap - around the £100 mark.

It will still be under warranty after you fix it, but the fixing will not be under warranty.

Might as well get some diamonds on it if you are getting a new bezel anyway! :bling:

You could mask off the brushed part with tape and then get busy with the Cods! :)

In terms of getting one either ordered from, or fitted, by Breitling you will probably be quoted 4 to 5 weeks as that is the usual standard Breitling repair time.

Can you post a picture? It's easier to give advise when I see the problem...
