Hey Guys, im new here and looking to purchase my first Breitling. My good freind is selling a Breitling Evolution with Diamond Bezel for one of his freinds and i just wanted to make sure that its not a rep. Just by searching the forums i believe the bezel is not OEM but maybe im wrong. Can i get your thoughts on both the watch and bezel??? Thanks again

The watch is real.

No idea about the bezel.

From what I can tell the bezel looks OEM to me.

Not convinced about that. It's OEM style, but would need better photos to see the settings etc. There is also no Breitling diamond cert shown with the paperwork.

I'm o expert on diamond bezels but does it look like some of the diamonds at the top of the bezel are set at different heights? OEM bezels usually seem to be pretty even throughout the whole bezel. Maybe it's just the light or something, a better pic would definitely help.

Yup..very true.

if it IS in fact an aftermarket bezel then it is a good aftermarket as it looks great.

but u are right roman the top left 3 diamonds between 11:00 & 12:00 look "iffy" but could just be camera angle.


.....more pics please.

Thank you for all the help guys. I went buy this threads info to think it was a fake bezel

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20919&hilit=fake+evolution

See what O2AFAC67 says "Notice between each cluster of 3 or 4 diamonds the raised "bar" on my bezel. Yours has a depression instead". Thats why i thought this bezel was a fake!!

Please some more input

Thanks again
Joe
