When you bought your diamond bezel at authenticwatches.com how did you manage to remove the screws from bentley motors bezel? I tried to remove mine with a very thin flat head and didn't realize the screws are both tight and soft to turn. Any help would be appriciated

If I remember rightly, Ling Man got a watchmaker to install it for him as he was a bit concerned messing about with the Motors bezel himself. As you know, the Motors has a geared bezel like the Airwolf and it's a bit more complex underneath that than under an Aeromarine bezel for example. Apparently Ling Man watched the guy do it, and said he'd made the right choice by getting a pro to do it.

Sorry to bring this back but I found some info that I hope I could get clarified. I called La Swiss in mississauga, yordale, toronto, bloor street, and finally breitling canada (grigorios) to see if I can get the diamond bezel. All told me that they dont make that kind of bezel and only certain B4B watches they make have diamonds (either on the case or the bracelet etc). That tells me two things; Either acceldebt got the diamond bezel from authenticwatches.com as an aftermarket piece and therefore not oem or he did bought an oem diamond bezel from breitling which means breitling does make them and therefore none of the people in canada that offically sells breitling know anything about it. The latter wouldn't surprise me since there were times where the ad have been mistaken about information concerning about the watches. Like I said, any clarification would be helpful and appreiciated. Thanks

Breitling does not make a diamond bezel for your watch. Like you said, he must have bought his as an aftermarket piece, because a factory Breitling bezel does not exist.
