Except for Sergio's former BEB BB, these are renderings, no? Perhaps the artist missed on the polished rendering.

The third picture I posted is off the configurator, which I would guess is a digital rendering. The first two are off the "versions" feature, which I would have guessed featured actual photographs, rather than renderings, but I really don't know that for sure. Also, while I didn't show it, the 360 view also shows only three ticks between 10 and 15, and 15 and 20.

Older dial has 3 ticks - brushed BB.
Newer dial has 4 ticks - polished BB and BEB.

Just on the photos, which are often photo shopped by Breitling.
Look at the BEB on the Sergio's wrist.

So the polished BB with black dial has a different dial than the brushed black-dial version? I don't know if this confuses matters any, but I was just looking at a brushed, black-dial BB tonight and it had four ticks.

I don't think it's a rule, just updated dial in brushed case.

Agree - that was my point from the beginning about the website pics being some sort of CG renderings.

I know that BEB on Sergio's wrist - it was mine, I let him use it for a while, and it is back with me now. (Eeek! That sounds a little gay)

That really depends on what you were letting him use.

I've been thinking about this a bit, since a point was brought up here I didn't know about. Generally speaking, are stock photos on most watch brand websites actual photos that have been retouched, or are they digital fabrications from the ground up?

I've always assumed they were renderings, not photos.

That would explain why I find "real life" pictures of watches more helpful than stock pics.
