Your local AD can get you what you need. OEM parts arent available outside of the dealer network, so finding them on your own may prove to be a lot tougher than you would imagine.

SwissWatchStore is a advertiser/sponsor of this site so can be trusted. Link is at the bottom of the page. You could try contacting them to see if they have the one you need. It seems overkill to replace the whole bezel though when only a single rider is missing.

As RJR says, riders are almost impossible to find on eBay etc so contact your Breitling AD and they will be able to order/fit one for you. I think steel are around $/£50 so expect to pay more for rolled gold.

And don't be bullied into believing it can only be done with a service which some salesmen may tell you!
