I have a chronomat 47 and the bezel is somewhat loose. If I barely hit anything the bezel will move. I called my AD and they said they will have to send the watch off as they don't touch Breitling watches for any repairs.
Is this something a competent watchmaker can fix (tighten) or does it require extensive work. I know a good watchmaker here but don't wanna mess anything up w my baby... Hahaha thank u in advance for the help guys

On a Chronomat an excessively loose bezel is likely to be the click-spring not being seated correctly below the bezel. Performing repairs like that on a Chronomat bezel is a "non-invasive" procedure (i.e. it doesn't require the caseback to be opened) so IMO it'd be fine to let a competent watchmaker take a look.

(In fact, it's actually a job you can do yourself if you have the right screwdriver, but if you've not tackled anything like that before, then leave to a watchmaker).
