I simple diamond bezel is fine, but when you make it look like a disco ball its time to work on the self esteem.

To each their own and if someone wants a "glitter ball" (nice phrase MacApple) on their wrist, that's their choice.

I think the majority of people on here simply appreciate the beauty of a watch without having to bling it up.

I doubt anybody who chooses a blinged up Ling is trying to go unnoticed. If you call attention to yourself, you can't expect all the attention to be good.

I think it kind of goes against the ethos of Breitling anyway. They're meant to be professional/ tool watches on the whole. Blinging up a Breitling too much is like pimping up a pick up truck. Never quite looks right to me. But... each to his own!

a polished ling already has enough bling for a king, so save the stones for your ring..

If you are gonna post a Lil Wayne or Birdman ling , save yourself the beating you will get from the forum . The thing that matters most is if you like it.

Yeah, I think most people are fine with OEM bling that's in keeping with the overall design of the model in question and created by the same team who designed the non-bling version. It's the after-market versions people generally find overly flashy because the modifications weren't created by the same people who designed the watch so sometimes they have a tendency to look "bolted on" and don't enhance the original design, they overpower it.

Just my 2c.
