The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I got this picture in my head that changing the bezel-screws on my SA to golden ones will be a subtle and goodlooking "pimping" of the watch...

(feedback on that thought is welcome)

So, how do you get those screws, rose or yellow gold....?

I'm not 100%, think it would look a bit weird... But if you do it, I think rose gold would go better with the steel.

You might be able to get away with it if you used a gold/yellow croc type of setup.

Exactly my thought too... and since they will probably not be too expensive it would be fun to try it.

C´mon all you AD´s here - do you have them/can you get them?

But- will all breitling bezel screws be the same length, width?

I am not a fan of diamond encrusted anything, and don't much like the look of gold on watches rose or yellow. I prefer steel or titanium, or even blacksteel for my watches, but if you have to pimp go with the rose.

I had a new screw the last time my Aerospace was serviced and it was only £36 - but that was not a gold screw, only Ti.

Maybe the gold would only be about £50 so what's that then? £600 - peanuts.

Oh - hang on - that was rip off Britain. Probably be about $150/€100

Yeah - might look quite nice - go for GOLD.

What's the setup you have on that bad boy anyway? Case - bracelet - dial?

Maybe someone can mock one up if you tell us what you have to start with. Maybe we can get some screw swaps going!

Well I doubt it'll be that little...

Examples:
Steel Tang buckle: $25
Rose Gold version: $925

Steel Deployant: $240
Rose Gold Version: $3250

Pilot bracelet in steel: $1300
in 22mm rose gold: $18000

Professional bracelet: $500
yellow gold: $15900
white gold: $19300

my point is when you mention gold around Breitling, be prepared to bend over and take it like a man

I'm sorry, for a second there I thought I read that it costs £36............. FOR ONE SCREW!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is frankly daylight robbery! Especially since I was quoted by an AD only £120 for a Bentley Motors T bezel. The cynic in me might suggest that people may need screws more often than bezels, so it's probably quite a nice money-spinner.
