| Post subject: | B2 bezel problem? |
I just bought my first Breitling, a 2003 B-2 with Fighter bracelet.  Anyways, the previous owner never rotated the bezel much, if at all. After I screwed around with it a bunch, I noticed that the internal slide-rule and the external bezel don't line up. They appear to be about 5 minutes out of time, but it varies with the rotation of the bezel.Is this normal? Is there any way to get them back in time? Thanks! --EasyD |

The bezel and the internal slide rule are geared but not at a 1:1 ratio. Very rarely will they line up. It is a great time waster when you are bored to rotate them enough to get them to line up. Have fun and enjoy the watch. I really like mine. |

 Perfectly normal.I read somewhere that you can apparently get them to line up eventually, but it's a ridiculous number of turns that's required! One for a wet Sunday afternoon I think!

Thanks for the info! Too bad someone at Breitling didn't have OCD when they designed the bezel. I'll keep playing with it... Thanks! --EasyD |
