Where did you get that diamond bezel from dadicroce? That's one of best aftermarket diamond bezels I've seen. Is it steel or white gold? |

driver, got it from abreitlingday (ebay name) i get everything from him cause he gives me the best prices anywhere. he lives 20 minutes away from me and he actually became a good friend of mine and id sware by his goods. so if you need something let me know. the bezel is SS. i was gonna go with a 18kt white gold bezel but it turns out white gold is significantly softer than stainless and God forbid i accidently ding it id rather just a scratch than a dent in my bezel. |

Probably a very good decision on the SS bezel if you are planning to wear it a lot..... and it's cheaper too! 
I've had a look at that guy's work on eBay before and the quality of some of the modified factory bezels seems to vary a bit at times IMO. Yes the prices are always very good, but the settings don't always look as clean as they might've..... but I admit I am something of a perfectionist! 
HOWEVER, your channel-set bezel looks very VERY good indeed!!  I particularly like the way it doesn't protrude higher than the crystal, so keeping a "factory look". Wow, this is the closest I've seen to wanting a diamond bezel myself! What's happening to me!!   Do you know what colour and clarity the diamonds are?

the stones are all vs2-si clarity and g-h color. and honestly in a channel set bezel the light has the ability to enter the stone and reflect better. actually to be honest, since the guy is a friend of mine we havent decided on a price yet lol. ill let you know the next time i see him. ive been to his house hes been to mine so he knows im not going anywhere lol |

Erm, no - sorry, but you did ask...but then again I'm not into selling drugs or things like that so I wouldn't know would I. 
I don't know, it just looks really OOT - the size of the watch is already pretty imposing - but to add the glitz just doesn't ring my bell - sorry mate. |

Frankly looks too "pimpy" to me - please excuse my weak attempt at humour - didn't mean to offend you in any way. |

As you say, each to his own - just not my 'personal' taste -but then, what do I know? I buy Panerai..... |

to add yet more controversy, I think its the first diamond bezel I like (my wifes B&M and Rolex excepted)! And I DO push drugs for a living (all quite legally by way of prescription)

And even more controversy, I never liked diamonds on a watch at all until I saw my wife's first B and later my daughter's. They insisted I have one as well and I joined them on my 60th birthday. Here is the family back then... (all factory bezels, didn't want to void any warranties)Cheers, Ron 
Wifey's other B...
