Is there anyway to tell if the the diamonds install in the bezel is Breitling factory diamond install. I know many dealer take the original metal bezel and install diamonds in them and put back into the watch. But is there any characteristic of a factory diamond bezel that we could look for or some kind of serial number that we could identify it with? |

I'm pretty sure the style number will be different. Breitling will NOT upgrade your watch, even by them to a diamond bezel, unless you originally buy it from them with that. Same goes with like a MOP dial for example. Also, besides the Chronomat, Super Avenger and Cockpit, there isn't a Breitling model currently made with factory diamond bezel, excluding ladies' models and I do consider Chrono Cockpit a ladies' watch, sorry. Though jewelers will sometimes used the factory bezel to set the diamonds in, usually you won't get the same quality diamonds or, as I've seen MANY MANY times, they'll do a single row of diamonds on Super Avenger apposed to a double row on factory diamond bezel. |

Additionally every watch with a factory diamond bezel will have a little booklet with the paperwork (same size as the warranty booklet) confirming the diamond bezel and the serial number of the watch it's attached to. |
