My wife has found a breitling Calistino <sp?>
It's a stainless and gold with a gold bezel with a white face.

However she wants a diamond bezel where can i find those and will they enterchange with any of the windrider watches?

Can someone give me a run down of the wind rider and calistino and the changes between the watches?

thanks a ton!!!!!!!!

Welcome to BreitlingSource!

Windrider is a range of watches, and the Callistino is just one of the discontinued models in the range.

Overview of the range here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/models/windrider.html

and the Callistino is here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... er_14.html

I can't help you on diamond bezels for it, sorry but you can't change bezels across any model in the range - there are a lot of different sizes. Others might know if any other model's bezel matches the Callistino, I'm not sure.

If your wife likes the Callistino she may also like the Cockpit Lady, the replacement model in the current range.

You will probably be looking at an aftermarket custom-made diamond bezel now. Try someone like www.Lioridiamonds.com. They are recommended by at least one member on here, and the quality of their work seems good. (Not OEM standard, but then it's nigh on impossible for any aftermarket maker to achieve OEM quality).

Congrats on the new watch for your wife. I looked long and hard and several styles, liked the ones you looked at. I settled on a wonderful non-worn older B Class without diamonds.

I looked and contemplated, checked references, went with Bling King in New York. I have a 1.0 carat bezel, had them set in my gold bezel and it turned out great. Another friend did the same. Can highly recommend them. I was just in the AD to have them check something for me, they loved the watch, made no comment on diamonds or quesioned helping me. Of course I didn't tell them, but was happy with that.

Let me know if I can help, be glad to give you the info.
