WOW, never thought of a SA low key even with the stock bezel! The diamonds take it to a whole other baller level, rock those rocks! :lingsrock:

IMO... I like the plain bezel. Don't take this the wrong way but I think something like that just screams fake to me(not that it is though of course).

Hey, you asked for opinions right? :poke:

Nice watch though, but lose the 10 carats it's not needed on a Super Avenger. It's like throwing some 36" wheels on a hummer :lol:

It's different, I'll give you that Megatron,

But why oh why oh why are you wearing some glass beads next to a lovely timepiece? You see, someone may look and think that the bling (diamonds) could only be fake - but IMO along with the beads next to it just screams that it must be fake. Now that is my opinion and of course I am a firm believer in 'do what you feel is right' or what you are comfortable with - who cares what anybody else thinks anyway?

.

Note: If the beads are worn for sentimental reasons or anything like that then please disregard what I said above - I mean no offence by my remark.

I do agree with KMG... do what makes you happy!

(but

Then that's all that matters Megatron - I'll tell you what though, at least if a 'low-life' eyes your watch up (with stealing it from you in mind) they will just think it's just a fake and leave you alone

. Hmmmm, I wonder if we could all learn something there

yup! i just change my bezel to the factory one! i took off the bezel...decided to put it on for special occasions or sell it for a rollie!! finally found a 30 yr watch repair tech who did a great job in changing the old bezel....and made the screws looking new...

This may answer your question Megatron - it's in another thread

Look at #3 below.

This is why its important to get it done right. Its a super simple process, but if care isnt taken, it can very quickly turn south.

1. You need the correct size screwdriver. Too small or too large will end up damaging the head. Ive done it with a basic mini sized (1.4mm i think) screwdriver before, but it takes a lot more patience than when being done with the proper tool.

2. The screws have loctite on them. They can be tough to loosen the first time. In this case, it helps to tighten first, and then loosen.

3. An AD should be able to get you some new screws. I think they are something like $8 each (thats what I was told a while back, anyway). Id advise getting an entire set for each bezel, because as Roff mentioned, they are a real pain to get back in the hole once removed completely. They only need to be unscrewed about half way for the bezel to come off.

4. $50 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much to pay for the service. If done by somebody who knows what theyre doing, it shouldnt take more than 5-10 minutes.

I hope that has helped.

Depends whether OP reads his own threads - that answer was in response to the same member's question.

i have no clue what a AD is ? and most ppl say go to breitling canada...i was wondering if any after market places carry them....ill most likely go to breitling canada and scrap the warranty....

I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but.....

1) AD = authorised dealer - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16818
2) There is no such thing as Breitling Canada. The distributor is Grigoros who also own La Swiss and Watch Service Centre of Canada (the Breitling authorised service centre)
3) An aftermarket bezel will not void a warranty - just put the original one back on before sending it in
4) An AD can get you bezel screws, and for the cost there's no point in going aftermarket (which means fake). Just take the watch to an AD and tell them that you bought the watch used and the screws were missing - go in with the original bezel and no screws and there should be no issue.

Ah well Roff, I saw the question here and thought 'I'm sure that I've seen the answer about bezel screws somewhere else'. So, I went and found the thread and in trying to help this guy, I posted it in this thread. I was only trying to help (not only this guy but others who may read this thread too)

You'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about watches here, and not just Breitlings. Unlike some other watch sites out there pretty much every major brand is respected here even if they're not necessarily liked.

And I think selling the "blinged" bezel and picking up a Rolex is a good idea but don't limit yourself to Rolex. As much as I like many of them there are a ton of other watch manufactures out there.
