I am new to the Breitling family and recently bought a Chronomat Evoluiton A13356. I bought a diamond bezel and want to switch out the regular bezel on it...there are tiny screws around it..is this something I can do by unscrewing with a tiny screw driver and placing the diamond bezel on or do I need to take it to a jeweler? Can any jeweler do it? Is it just a matter of loosening the screws form the old one and lifting off and placing the diamond bezel on?
Sorry if sound stupid, but am learning a lot about the after-market parts and am not sure if any jeweler would do it. Thanks.

If you use the search function there are a lot of threads on this. It's just a matter of loosening the screws, but be careful because there is a spring underneath the bezel.

When you send the watch to Breitling for servicing it's a good idea to put the original bezel back on.

I would classify my self as very good with my hands and well capital of doing a bezel change, My main concern is that some thing may go wrong and that I may find my self in the position that I have to go into a AD and explain what went worng.....

My opinion is spend a few £$E and get a competent Watch marker to do it werther it be a AD or not.
