This seems to be a VERY weird issue:

I bought a Bentley Motors online. It was a Havana Dial piece and it looked great in the pictures... When it showed up this morning (all boxes and papers with matching serials), the inner slide rule that is supposed to be white (or some variation thereof) is faded to a weird pink color... Has this happened before?

I don't know if this is a normal thing to happen to these or if there is anyway to even have Breitling service it to be brought back to spec, or if I should simply return it..

There have been a couple of similar threads over the years, with no clear explanation that I can recall. Definitely not normal, and while Breitling could replace the dial / sliderule I would return it in your position - let someone else deal with the grief!

Happened with some Speedmaster Pros.
The black dial turned chocolate, they became so sort after that Omega actually produced a chocolote production model.
