| Post subject: | SO Heritage 46, Different Bezel Paint? |
I recently had my watch serviced for the second time within 9 months. My watch is three years old. The second service was within the Breitling warranty of the first service. Both service jobs were related to my watch running fast (5 minutes a week most recently). I don't know all the details of the work recently performed, but Breitling adjusted the movement, replaced the gasket, and polished the watch. I went to pick up my watch last week and I immediately noticed that the black paint on the bezel appeared to be lighter (faded). I had a sales associate place a new SO Heritage 46 from the display case next to my watch and the sales associate agreed that the bezel paint is noticeably different. The sales associate and a service representative suggested that Breitling may have changed the paint color on the bezel on their new watches to a more "polished" black. I find this hard to believe. I left the watch with the dealer and was supposed to hear back from them in a couple days, but they have not contacted me. Any thoughts on what might have happened here is greatly appreciated. |

They may have changed the finish on the bezel (I beleive it is anodised as opposed to painted) - it's certainly not inconceivable. I can't think what else would've caused the variation. It's unlikely to be fading due to the sun as that is a fundamental thing that watch companies test against. |
